Hi guys, i've got a big problem and I'm almost crying
My rig: gtx 750 ti , 4gb ram, pentium g3260, 1tb hdd

I've worked hard to get enough money to get some budget build, and I finally achieved it. I've been so happy with it TILL TODAY !

I was hearing some noises from my case, but it was nothing, I was only wondering what it was. I opened my case, cleared the dust, and DECIDED TO PUT OUT AND PUT BACK MY RAM DIMM (why the hell did I do it :( )
So i put it out, and somehow in meanwhile I turned it to the other side, and I didnt figure it out ! >.<
tried to put it back to slot, I pressed it hard and I though that everything is okay. Booted up pc, and heard repeated 1 long 2 short beeps. Same was happening when tried to boot up with rightly set memory (after an accident)

I looked back and I saw what I did. One pin (fifth from left I think) from memory dimm was missing, looked again and saw that I had also damaged one pin (or whatever it's called) in memory slot !! I had to remove it (damaged pin) because it would do it by itself after some time, it was really bad..

I didnt know what to do, i realised that I did such a stupid thing, my whole world has been broken

Later, i read that it is possible to get dimm working while it is missing one gold plated pin. I put it in other slot, reseted battery and tried to boot up PC. No beep was heard, but it wasnt booting up. Fans were working, but i saw nothing on the monitor

Please tell me that it means that only dimm is damaged, not a second slot. I couldn't bear it >.< I have only one slot left, that means there is no option for upgrade. I'll have to buy another memory dimm, but 8gb now.

I cant believe what I did, I bough it about 1 month ago, I had always dreamed about it. Now everything has gone, I have to invest more money now..

Help :(

But putting dimm in different slots doesnt give same results, it should mean something. I guess that beeping when I put it in first slot means that slot is damaged. And not booting up when I put dimm in second slot means that dimm is damaged too. Also, it is visible that first slot is damaged, while it is not case with the second slot. That's my hope..
