Installed new RAM, Now I have blank screen on boot up.

Well, as the title says I went and bought a stick of 2gb DDR2 RAM to go along with my already two single 1gb DDR2 RAM in the computer. Unplugged every cord, Installed it with a bit of conflict with my long graphic card and turned on my computer after plugging everything back in to find that neither of my 2 moniters were getting a signal(The computer was able to boot up though).

Next I decided to take out the new RAM and leave the old RAM in and see if it would work and I still had nothing. I checked my graphics card and it still seemed to be in it’s slot well enough (Would have completely taken it out but the lock on it was giving me problems)I checked the moniter cables they were fine and I even tried connecting a moniter back to the intergrated graphics chip (came with my computer before I purchaced a new graphics card)to see if I could get a signal and still had nothing. I’ve switched the RAM sticks around a few times and still haven’t got anything… btw I am running on Windows Vista Home 32bit.

Sorry for the long post but I tried to be as descriptive as possible. Anyone have any idea of what I’ve done/what’s happened to my computer? 🙁
