    Yes i had 3x2gb now I want to install 3x4gb

    The original RAM kit was rated at 1.65v and the new ones are 1.5v.

    here are the originals: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145222

    and here are the new ones: http://www.patriotmemory.com/product...&id=975&type=1

    As far as resetting the CMOS I have tried both resetting to default values from BIOS and then installing new RAM with no results as well as removing the CMOS battery and installing the new RAM, also yielded no results.
    Both of the RAM kits that you've given links to show that they are both 1.65v. I would try this next:

    Put in 1 stick of memory and see if the system will boot. If it does, see what the BIOS is reporting for timings and voltage

    and make the necessary adjustments if needed. After that put in another module and see if you still get a successful boot
    until you can install all 3 modules.

    If it doesn't boot, keep trying each individual module, one at a time, in each of the banks. You don't have to try every single

    bank but I would test at least one bank of each color from the first channel. If none of the modules will boot with just a single
    stick in multiple slots then...

    I don't know.

    DDR3 is DDR3 and triple channel is no more special than dual channel. If you have access to another system that uses
    DDR3 I would suggest trying the sticks in there as well. If they won't boot then I would guess they're bad. Even if you
    can't get your money back through Micro Center the RAM is still under warranty through Patriot.

    Most brand name computer such Dell, HP, and Compaq has limitations in their BIOS not allowing low latency memory
    modules to function properly. Most of the time, they also disable memory settings in BIOS so users are not able to
    manipulate them. Since these computers has BIOS limitations, our Patriots Low Latency Kits are not recommended for
    these brand name computers. We certainly can recommend any of our compatible Signature Line memory.
