Well, I had a go at resurrecting the bricked module and got it to work! I used a 2GB good module along with the bricked one and the motherboard would POST but would hang when it should have been handing off the booting to the OS. In this state the BIOS reported 3GB of memory with 2GB usable Booting up with the good module I was using and inserting the bad module while in the BIOS was a no go because even when exiting without saving the motherboard goes ahead and runs POST again instead of just continuing to boot. So in the end I decided to insert the module after POST was complete and just when the OS was starting to load. This resulted in a successful boot into Windows where I immediately ran SPDTool and loaded the OCZTA1000VX21G SPD Dump onto the bricked module. It worked which is awesome.Thanks again for the replies which gave me the idea that I could unbrick the memory module.
