Ok so my computer is working completely fine then the morning I was given a usb powered plasma ball (new from tesco) for my pc desk. I plugged it into my pc while it was off and when I powered it up I got 4 beeps. Did a diagnostic on it and one of my memory modules was gone. It was a corsair xm3 4gb.

I'm assuming that plugging in the plasma ball caused the fault as it was completely fine before then but thought I would check on here if that is possible before I turn up at tesco all guns blazing.

So could a USB powered plasma ball cause my memory module to stop working?

Could the memory have just faulted out on its own cause then or would something of had to happen to cause this?
