Hardware question, I have a 4 DIMM motherboard, which I have used slots 1 & 2 since purchased. <div><br></div><div>Recently, I've been getting a parity error. Over the weekend, I cleaned the computer and reset the memory, and notice two ballooned capacitors near the DIMM bank. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Two additional and similarly placed and sized capacitors are not ballooned. I swapped the ram to slots 3 & 4 and so far all is well. </div><div><br></div><div>Does any one know if there is a one to one relationship to the DIMM slots or DIMM pairs, and capacitors? </div>
<div><br></div><div>This is a Dell 0CJ774 motherboard in a 380 Precision WorkStation. The manual says to install RAM in pairs using slots 1 & 2, then 3 & 4. </div><div><br></div><div>Dell Support was useless.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks, Bill</div>
