no, nothing remains in ram after your computer is turned off (unless it's static ram but hardly anyone has that anymore)
in sleep mode your OS does remain in ram but your computer isn't off
in hibernate mode, your computer is off and your OS state is written to the hard drive, so that it can be loaded back into RAM more quickly

The largest size sticks of RAM in the lowest numbered slots, these are typically nearest to your CPU 7) It is very disconcerting how hard you need to push the RAM to get it all the way in. Make sure that the RAM is all of the way installed, that you hear the RAM click into place. 8) Close the computer up, plug in and turn on. If you hear beeping, then something went wrong with the installation. If the computer boots up, then the installation was assumedly successful.
