RAM with blackened/scarred gold plating = good as dead. No mobo is ever going to detect it.
Might as well toss it.
As for the old RAM, I'd advise you to check the gold platings as well. Also, use a flashlight to look at the RAM seats to determine if there's any scarring there. If there is, might as well order a whole new computer. If there isn't, take it as a lesson learned and order new RAM from Crucial.
As far as the beeps, it's probably just angry with you about the RAM. Check your RAM, dude.
