First thing I would do, is put the computer back into the last configuration that worked. In you case, take out the new memory modules and put the original ones back. If the computer works ok then, you may have some inappropriate memory modules. Or, as James suggested, you may have zapped them by not handling them properly. Pray that you did not zap anything on the motherboard. I would not recommend going past the amount stated in the original documentation as "Maximum Memory" regardless what OtherWorldComputing says. If you don't have that information go to http://www.everymac.com/systems/powercc/index.html and find your particular model. Make sure that you do not mix module types (mixing speeds is usually OK - from my experience.)
