Hi smboud,
Inspiron 1545 supports memory up to 4GB.
Remove the memory from the first slot and place the old memory in the second slot and check if the computer boots.
This could be an issue with the bad slot on the motherboard.
If the Old memory and the new memory works in the first slot check both the memories in the slot 2 (one at a time)as well.
Above steps should isolate the issue.
Picture below would explain the memory configuration for Inspiron 1545:
Awaiting your response!

Neither memory works in the second slot, so that must be a bad slot. Thank you for your help!
