Dead RAM

Anyone know if there is any way to resurect a stick of DDR RAM?
I bought a 256mb PC2100 off a guy on the ATOMIC forums, and all was well for about 3 hours, then it just stopped. My PC went black and wouldnt reboot until I put the old SD ram back in.

Any helpful suggestions might come in handy. Thanks

only suggestions i can probably have is to try ram in another slot and/or clean the contacts.

what happens if u wait for a day and try it again?

Tried it in another slot.
Tried cleaning it and the slots.
Tried it in another computer.
No go.

As for waiting a day...All this occured about 2 weeks ago. I just happened to look over and see the stick while I was at this site and thought, Hmm, I wonder if anyone here would have any ideas. So thats also a 'No go'.

yeah, bugger ay, dud buy?
