PC won't boot after reinstalling RAM

[mordalum]

Hi there,
My problem is I unplugged the only RAM stick out of my motherboard (DDR3 Kingston 4GB) to check the model. When I plugged it back PC won't boot and all I hear is continuous beeping for about 8 seconds, then it shuts down and try to boot again but won't succeed. The same thing happens without any RAM installed btw. so i guess my motherboard stopped recognizing the RAM stick and it worked just fine for about 3 years
I've gently cleaned the slots and the stick itself, tried installing it in every other slot, tried resetting BIOS to factory settings by removing a battery couple times, but I failed miserably.

Help me guys, is there something I can do by myself to fix this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English
Cheers

Make sure that it is indeed the ram. For gigabyte, the beep codes are as follows:

1short beep ：System normal 2 short beep ：CMOS Error 1 long beep and 1 short beep：Memory error 1 long beep and 2 short beep：Graphic card error 1 long beep and 3 short beep ：AGP error 1 long beep and 9 short beep ：Memory Error Continuous long beep ：Memory not correctly installed Continuous short beep ：Power supply unit failed 2.AMI BIOS 1 short beep ：Memory Error 2 short beep：Memory parity check error. 3 short beep ：basic memory 64K address check error 4 short beep ：Real Time Clock malfunction . 5 short beep ：CPU error 6 short beep：Keyboard error 7 short beep ：CPU interruption error 8 short beep：Graphic card error 9 short beep ：Memory error 10 short beep ：CMOS error 11 short beep ：CPU cache memory malfunction

Formatting is what gigabyte gave me, so you'll have to sort through it.

Code will tell you if it is actually the memory.

If it is dead and you can verify it, kingston typically offers lifetime warranty on their ram so you should be able to get it replaced.

I had a similar problem with my new build, mistake i made was that i did not look on the ram slot order. Make sure you insert ram in order. Look in the motherboard manual to see which slot is which.
