You didn't mention which motherboard you're using.
That 8GB module is likely perfectly fine, but since you're working with an older LGA 1156 socket, your board probably caps out at 4GB per slot—meaning a 16GB max if you have four slots available. I'd recommend checking the manufacturer's website to see if there's a BIOS update available or if that specific module is even compatible. It probably isn't, though.
Someone once said there’s no such thing as a stupid question, 😵 so I’ll go ahead and ask: did you try plugging the drive into a blue USB port?
If it reboots, you’re likely looking at a BSOD—could be a software conflict like a buggy driver, or hardware issues like a faulty RAM stick. If the whole system just cuts out completely, it sounds like you need a new power supply. Just to rule out the basics, try plugging it into a different outlet or a different power strip first...
Most laptops shut down because they're overheating, so you should probably check the fan—make sure it’s actually spinning and hasn't been choked out by dust. Another possibility is a faulty power adapter, maybe due to a loose connection in the cord or at the jack itself; honestly, I'd also bet your Lithium-ion battery has finally given up the ghost.
