It may not be the RAM that is fried, just the RAM slot. If you have 2x RAM boards installed. Mark 1 so you can distinguish them apart. Always turn of the computer to remove any/all RAM Place RAM 1 in slot 1 and turn on - if the beeping continues, de-power then try the same RAM in slot 2 - if the beeping continues, either both slots or that RAM is fried. Power off, remove RAM 1 and place RAM 2 in slot 1 - if beeping continues, try repeat procedure with RAM 2 in slot 2. In my case using this method I was able to determine the slot 1 was fried, but both RAM boards were fine.
