    Remove ALL RAM and do 3 4 cold boots and shutdowns...

    Then replace the proper RAM.

      Hi

      If what Patio suggested doesn't fix the problem .

      With the DDR memory installed did you try to turn the computer on? if you did it is likely you have damaged the motherboard. Or that the DDR memory physically damaged the memory sockets.

        and in the unlikely event of dust and lose components, try removing, cleaning and reseating the video card if the PC has an add-on one.
        if not, I'm with Vintron - you have pushed that incompatible memory in too hard and screwed up the slots.
