the 60 volt is its upper limit

60V .. does this seem the right part ? The voltage rating for the DDR
memory chips is only 3.3V.

Okay I will give it a shot with 2N3055 .. the POST beeps (3 long beeps)
indicate memory failure.

DO NOT TRY a A 2N3055.
This part is not the venerable bipolar transistor 2N3055, but an N
channel MOSFET like a NTD3055xxx. These have a 60v rating and a current
rating of between 9 and 12 amperes depending upon the xxx.
