Bad Ram?

[jwk_57_316]

Yeah i accidently installed my ram backwards (dumbass me) and i reinstalled it the correct way and now my computer just beeps constantly i have checked everything so many times and yeah..... its adata Vitesta ddr2533 1gb ram stick.

I turned on my computer when i had it in the wrong way the 240 slot is kinda tricky compared to the 184.... plz help

Try another known good stick in the slot. if the computer doesnt work than you probably fried the memory slot.

Well, the module is probably fried and the motherboard might be as well. RMA the memory and try a different module in that slot to see if the slot is fried.
