I see you've already messed with the voltage. maybe the timings are the issue. If you have spare ram sticks around, start playing around with them in different positions/combinations (make notes -- I have to or I get confused) and see if you can figure out if one is bad. If you don't have spares, but have more than one instaleld and can live with less than your present ram, you can pull one and then other too. A
