Thanks for the reply.

Funny you should mention dust puppies... the host in questions name is fluff 
due to the state it was in when purchased :).

I don't think that it might have been heat so much as the effects of cooling 
after being heated (it was 9:40pm after all). Perhaps the stick of ram was 
caught just as it moved from shrinkage and one or more of the contacts were 
sub optimal... Whatever the cause it doesent appear to be ongoing, at least 
not at the moment :).
