    Is my RAM burnt ??

    Hello mates, Just recently when I was reassembling my PC. I put everything in its place perfectly and Power up the PC. On powering up I hear a slight burning sound and the smell of burnt hardware. Removed my RAM to find out that one of the Pins (Gold contacts) on the RAM is not there, its just gone. However I inserted the ram again and it booted fine, and I was happy playing and benchmarking. But day by day, the RAM seem to degrading, giving BSODs and now it just wont boot, It wont POST, but I can see the DFI logo at bootup screen. I removed the burnt RAM and it booted fine.


    Is it dead ? Can I get a RMA of this ?




    Thanks in Advance

    RMA it if you didn't do anything to it to cause it, which it doesn't sound like. Send it back!
