Try reseating and/or rearranging position of the RAM modules in the slots. Also before reseating, clean the slots with a small paint brush. Clean the RAM contact pins by rubbing w/ the eraser tip of a pencil.

The phrase "would not boot up all the way" could mean a gazillion different things, so I'll go with the most likely:

1. Your ram is bad.
2. Your ram in incorrectly installed/not seated properly.
3. Your ram is not the right size/speed/type for your motherboard.
4. You loosened something else while you were installing your ram.

If the ram you added has all the chips on one side and the ram in your machine has chips on both sides that means you have tried to use high density ram on a chipset that doesn't support it. Intel chipsets don't. I assume you checked to make sure your board supported the speed and size of the stick you put in before you bought it and didn't get ECC ram?

Boot to the bios screen, how much ram does it report? Your ram may be out of sync if you installed different size modules. I generally try to install a single stick if at all possible, or 2 sticks of the same size.

check and make sure the ram is properly seated, if it is then the ram you got is not compatable. also they say to remove the original stick and place the one you are trying to install into its slot while moving the older one down to any of the other open slots.
