Can removing a stick of RAM from a mobo with PC on mess up the PSU?

I didn't realize my PC was still on and now my PSU seems to have become insufficient. The PC restarts whenever I try and run something This happened a week or so ago and I haven't been able to do ANYTHING since it happened. Firefox, aim, ccleaner, and WMP are the only things that work.

I've run various Antivirusii and I've run Memtest86, nothing.

Also, I was using a Rosewill 550, is this a better replacement?

Never heard of installing RAM in killing a power supply...

I say that replacement one is an overkill - go for a Corsair one.

why did you do it, and how old is itpsypokes5

I already explained that. Also, how old is the RAM, or the PSU? The ram is kind of old, I pulled it out of another PC. The PSU I bought last November.

So let me get this straight...

You pulled a ram stick out of your mobo with your PC/PSU on?
While I have no background in electrical engineering, my small amount of knowledge on the subject, from physics, would tell me it is quite possible that you just messed up a cap/filter on your PSU.

While the intricacies of ram, other than the good overclocking modules, are unknown to me, I also could see the ram being damaged.
