The 2nd gen i7 Quad Core systems will run 16 gigs but not 32 and it will be 1333 at 1.5 volts not 1600. You have already upgraded that machine as far as it will go I am afraid. 

 

This is the Service Manual:

i7-2860QM is already .2 ghz faster than any processor you are supposed to be able to install.
