Get out the manual and learn to perform a CMOS jumper reset, then perform that procedure and reconfigure your bios.
It's most likely that the bios settings were not compatible with the new ram.
I would try putting in the new ram before the cmos reset, then the PC might detect the new ram correctly at system defaults, allowing a boot into bios so you can reconfigure bios according to your hardware spec. If that doesn't work, reset cmos with the old ram installed and take it from there.
If the PSU has an isolation switch at the back of the PC, turn it off, otherwise unplug the PC before swappping components.
