Dell Precision t3500 ram slots empty

Good afternoon!

My computer doesn't see the memory in the ram slot.
DIM1,2,3 currently has 3x4GB of ram and only sees 1.

So far I have used several RAMs, I thought I would buy a RAM and see how it is, I took one out and then put it back. The machine beeps only when there is a black screen and a ram error. So far, 5 pieces of RAM worked perfectly. There are only 3 in it right now, but you only saw 1.

I checked the CPU socket, no problem.
I cleaned the RAM socket.
The basic memory test shows that there is a piece of ram in the motherboard.
The bios also only sees one ram.
I tried several types of memory, even then it only recognized 3 figures.
I have already removed the bios element several times.
I tried the rams on other machines, it worked fine on another
The computer did not see 1333mhz 1.5v unbuffered memory. RAM is included in 1,2,4,5,6. Only in the 3 slots

Type: Dell Precision T3500
CPU: W3670
RAM: Kingston 9965432-082.A00LF
Bios A17

So far, it works perfectly with 5 pieces of ram.
I know the ram is not 1333mhz. I bought it with this RAM a few years ago.
Can someone help me?

    A few ideas:

    • Change size 2032 CMOS battery
    • Does all the RAM sticks you're trying match? - Speed, volts, all either non-ECC or ECC, DDR3
    • Speed should be either 1066mhz or 1333mhz.  I'm not 100% sure if the T3500 will just downclock a higher speed.
    • May be MB issue.  Replacements for the T3500 are fairly cheap.

    It may be the Kingston RAM you mentioned causing compatibility issues.  I would try using the correct RAM before the possibility of changing MB.  T3500 RAM on Amazon  T3500 RAM on Crucial.com  Crucial will be a little more expensive.  A-Tech is a brand I've used for years and has a lifetime warranty.  It's a good way to save money on classic PC's.

    I see the RAM Crucial has is DDR3L, which is 1.35 volts.  The A-Tech RAM is 1.5 volts.

    What's your OS?  If Windows, is it 64-bit and not 32-bit?
