I have two questions pertaining to the X38-DQ6 motherboard.
1) I'm trying to use the Q-Flash utility with a USB flash drive to flash my bios. I press END during the POST screen, the utility pops up, but it doesn't detect my flash drive at all. It is an FAT32 formatted flash drive, so it should be able to detect it. Any help on this?
2) I have 3 1GB sticks of RAM installed on my computer currently (Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1066 PC2-8500). I've tested all 4 sticks seperately in all 4 slots (16 tests total) on the motherboard, and they all work fine. So I have these 3 sticks of RAM in the machine currently, and it works fine. However, when I try to install the fourth stick of RAM on the computer, I start getting memory errors (This is using the memory tester utility booted from a Vista disc). Any idea on what the problem could be? I've heard that you have to reduce voltages or something like that. I've also heard that this RAM could just be incompatible with a X38-DQ6 (This sounds a lot less likely). If I could get help on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
