See my reply about likely incompatible memory in the Dimension - BIOS forum.

#1 Remove the RAM you just added, see if the system functions.
#2 If you still have the no POST issue, then reseat the video card & other cards in the system (Video card last) & try to start the system again. If the system is a XPS-T or newer system, it should have 4 diagnostic LEDs on the back. Indicate if they are Yellow or Green YYGG for example is usually a memory issue.
