almost as if one of the contacts has ended up under a stick of ram and has now been crushed quite well =/
sorry to confuse u all but its like 3rd pin down in the right slot
Just keep trying is all I can say. Not got anything smaller than a pin?

Everything I can see suggests bending back. Harder than just doing it though I know 
. You have any needle nose pliers?

Needle nose pliers wont work.
You need to get a Pin sharp thin object such as a fishing hook..
Hook it under slowly and then very slowly move the pin up.
Once it up then using a thin hard flat surface coax it back into place.
it wont seat perfectly but if you careful you be fine.
Ive seen this before and had to fix my self.
What has caused this to happen is time and heat. the pin have warped to seat onto the ram and when you moved the ram out it has moved and once the ram has gone back in you have crushed it.
Not easily fixable but it is possible just take your time. All so use a magnify glass it helps out alot.

ok well
it seems to me i have fixed it - pushed it back into place as much as i can looks "acceptable" but still does the same thing...in case you are wondering this is what it does
Power button on
CPU fan sounds as if its revving up then down, up then down, up then down and up then down
All the while hdd sounds like normal
Then infinite beeps not quite a constant single beep but just enough of a quick gap - basically very fast beeps
These do not occur when the hdd power is unplugged...yet it still does not start bios

no idea sorry
left battery out overnight and unplugged it all - still happening
i actually cant see anything wrong with the ram slot now - i have done the best i can at bending it into place.
i have an sempron 2600+ (skt a) and mobo in the attic - would this be a suitable fix, i feel the performance would be about the same?

I know it would.
He said it starts beeping when it gets to windows.
When Windows loads, the CPU has some processing to do no? Hence a load occurs and the CPU is creating more heat (this is like processor 101
).
Now the motherboard has a set warning level of which it creates a warning sound (the constant, high pitched beeping) when the CPU reaches a certain level of temperature. Normally around 66 degrees Celsius and up.
It wouldn't occur during BIOS because there is no heavy load for the CPU is there now?
Plus the HDD thing, if there isn't a HDD plugged in then there is no windows to boot into hence why no beeping...
Makes sense?

Yes some motherboards do not beep when no HDD can be detected. When mobo's beep it's normally incorrect seated or missing components. Check under the mobo for any bent solder/pins.
