But yesterday as I wanted to boot one of my old macines I herard that beeeep beeeep that none of use likes . BTW this ram worked in this macine before. I cleaned the ram contacts with alcohol, and dusted off the slot, but again beeeep beeeep... so i tried some other boards, but it only worked on an Intel se440bx-2, but not in all slots. There is no visible damage on the ram and other ram works without problems. Something else I noticed, if force the ram while inserted to one side a little it works again but if I release it the computer hangs.
Could it be that frequent ram inserting damages the ram? Anyone had similar problems. Is there a way to test what is wrong (beside the ram tester). Please help.

memory itself is fairly bulletproof, but there is always a chance it will get sparked
might also be the mobo. every time u stick the ram it u bend the mobo a little.
mobos are vulnerable to static and bending.
