    Re-seat the graphics card (assuming you are not using onboard vga). You may have moved it a bit when installing the ram. It's worth a try anyway.

    Was the PC turned off at the mains plug at the wall?

    Just because the PC is shut down doesn't mean that the power supply is switched off, it needs to be turned off at the switch on the power supply or at the wall if no switch on power supply
