is it just because its too much memory or my monitor wont just turn on?

That can be a lot of different issues, check to make sure that is the correct DIMM module, speed, pins etc. Make sure your Motherborad supports that ammount of RAM, for example this computer I am on now, supports at MAX
1GB of DDR PC2700 (333hm), so if I would put 1.5GB, it would be to much.
Also, if it is correct, try to take the DIMMS out, and re-set them, maybe it looks fine, but really is not.
Then check to make sure you did not accidently un-plug something like your hard disk, or a card came loose, check screws and wires inside. Check outside in the back to, for your cabeling to be snug, lots of times a plug, or cable might just come out of its socket, or just to loose. Usally problems like theese are just little quarks that require a small adjustment, or fix. If the computer worked fine before you bought the RAM, it should be something small.
Also just keep in mine these chips are manafucatured in millions in china, or thiland, etc. It is Verry possible to just get a defective pice of equipment. If all the above dont resolve it, and it is the correct ram, and ammount for your motherboard, it could be just a bad RAM chip.
That is about all that it could be, check your BIOS to see if it tells you what your MAX ammount is, not allways though.
Hope this helps!

If you mean video ram; when you add a video card, you have to plug your monitor into the new plug on the new video card. Not where the video used to be plugged in.
