Can electrical disturbance kill a DDR? Pls evaluate
 
I didn't notice my Video card leaked h2o on my PCI modem & I couldn't boot normally. My 8rda+ just gave a code 25 on the debug LED.
If that did not caused my DDR's damaged then could it be my Muskin aluminum heatspreader?
By the way my DDR is a Twinmos PC3200 or DDR400 Winbond chip w/c I always use 2.77v but my PSU only gives out 2.73v.
And for Dual DDR I have a Twinmos 333 Winbond chip w/c I set at 400FSB 2-3-3-8 & 2.77v; & this one is still alive.
Again if that one didn't cause it would it be because a store tech dropped the RAM while I brought my 8rda to be checked?

The Modem I fixed already:) the DDR of course I couldn't:(

Any inputs pls:)

I would say that it is easier for a ram stick to be destroyed through mishandling than through shorting on the board. Those sticks can handle some crazy electrical conditions and still work, but the chips on them can be pretty fragile to mishandling/dropping. I've shorted a whole stick across the DIMM pins and while it blew the board the stick was fine ....
