Welcome to the forum!

Yes, the T420 supports 16gb of RAM (see my signature below). I've been using it since I got mine in early March of this year with no issues and I use it heavily for multiple virtual machines, etc.

Did you run a memory tester like Memtest86 overnight to verify you don't have a bad stick of RAM? It's worthwhile to do, particularly if you are in your return period for the RAM you purchased. Good luck!

My ThinkPad T420 has 16 gigs of Patriot ram, which works fine.
