I have aperfectly normal working pc,i wanted to add
more memory to it,and stupudily i added sd ram to the
ddr ram thatn was already in there.So when starting up
the pc,the pc only recognised the sd ram,and not the
ddr ram,i took out the sd ram and put the ddr ram back
in,did not work,put back the sd ram it works.Went on
the net to get help,someone gave me these steps.Take
out sd ram after switching off the pc.Switch the pc
on,and then back off,then put in the ddr ram,switch
back on,does not work,switch off put back sd ram,oh my

This is interesting. SDRAM and DDR RAM should not use the same slots. The notches should have been slightly different. Unless you forced the SDRAM into place. RAMs were created so this type of mistake could not be done. Check your notches on the RAMs and the notch in the DIMM controller. Make sure you didn't damage any of them.
Take both RAM's to a computer shop and have them verify the RAM is still working. There is a possibility you damaged the RAM sticks. I will take it that you did seat the RAM firmly in place, and in the correct way. You may need to have the Motherboard checked also.
When you did all the switching, taking out the battery and jumpers, did you unplug the PC from the wall? If you didn't, you may have done damage to the Motherboard. Even though the computer may not be running, with the power cord still plugged to the wall socket, the CMOS and other internal systems still use the current coming from the Power Supply. The CMOS battery (the small round battery you took out) uses the Power Supply so it will not die quickly, and, the CMOS will not clear if the Power Supply still has power.
Once you find out if the RAM is still good, try the DDR RAM again. Don't use the SDRAM.

If your computer is not working properly while you are working on it , it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

did you unplug the power when you pulled the battery?
