According to what I can find, there is no way to set the voltage in the BIOS. The ran takes 2.5V I can set: CAS Latency (currently at 2.5) RAS to CAS Delay (currently at 3, can set to 2) RAS Precharge Time (set to 3, can set to 2) Active Precharge Delay (set to 6, can set to 5) 1T Command...

Ah yeah, it is the a7v333. I must have been typing too fast. Thanks for catching that

I just rechecked my manual and saw no such restriction, but thanks.

The memory is newly purchased, all 3 sticks are the same brand and model, all purchased at the same time. Right now bios is set to auto detect. Its a possibility, I have not yet looked into it. Duel channel? on DDR? (not DDR2 or 3, regular DDR) Right now the problems are just with...

Test #5 Its one or two errors per pass. Not every pass The errors only occur when i have more than one stick in the mobo. i've tried having just a single stick in each of the three slots (so 3 tests) and no errors occur. any combination of 2 or 3 sticks generates errors

Dell uses custom power supplies and mobos. If you want to replace one, you need to replace the other (unless I read what you are doing for your mom wrong)

its the inquirer, they cite themselves something like 3 times in that article. I wouldn't trust this story until some more reliable source comes along with a similar article

have you borrowed a friend's powered hub and that solves the problem? Do you have the correct drivers installed? i find it unlikely that the USB ports on your mobo are underpowered (according to the USB spec) or that other devices can negatively affect the port you are attempting to use...

Not likely. USB hubs are dumb devices and controlled by the computer. The power adapter is enough to charge them, but without the computer the hub keeps the power off as part of the USB standard. Attempting to bypass this is likely to damage the devices.
