I assume you mean you used the RAM from your old computer. (Today "RAM" is typically SDRAM, synchronous dynamic random access memory, but that's besides the point.) Random Access Memory is almost always volatile in desktop or laptop computers, meaning all data is lost when power is removed. (Tablets and cell phones typically use non-volatile memory.)
Also, it is quite difficult to make a virus which infects memory. Typically viruses infect either the boot sector of a storage device (e.g. a USB stick) or are imbedded in an executable program.
It is, however, quite possible your old memory is incompatible or marginally compatible with your new motherboard. Typically there are memory settings in the BIOS setup which need to be optimized for the particular brand and type of memory.
Does your PC get through its Power On Self Test (POST)? That will tell you if the memory is good or bad. You may have to go into your BIOS settings to disable "quick boot", as quick boot bypasses POST and just tries to boot Windows without running a memory check.
