When you added the ram you may have knocked the video card loose from the slot. Try reseatting the video card. If you have an onboard video card then, remove the ram you put in the system and see if the system will then boot up.

I just wanted to take the time to thank you! I did what you said and I also took out the RAM and started all over. I'm not sure what it was, it's very possible that I had the new RAM installed incorrectly as well. In any event it is up and running now and I couldn't be happier. I do plan on getting a new computer, just not yet. After all a writer without a proper computer is like a doctor without a sharp scalpel. I do plan on making sure all my files are backed up and up to date. Takes a hurricane to learn how to weather the storm, right?! Thank you very much!
