More than likely if the ram is bad in anyways the PC just won't boot.

I did have a RAM stick one time that burnt the pin off the RAM itself.

Very very unlikely, but these are sensitive electric components, and theoretically it's POSSIBLE.
I've never heard of it happening.

RAM damaging mobo?
It is possible but quite rare to happen.
I have never had anything like that and I built at least 10 PCs per year on average.
