"A Celeron 500 PC will almost certainly come with SD-RAM - an older standard which is incompatible with DDR. If you've tried to jam a DDR stick into an SD-RAM slot, then you may well have fried both the RAM and the motherboard."

yes even i think now for sure thats the problem...a hard lesson learned???

have you put everything back to how it was before you bought the new ram- I had the same problem and it turned out to just be a dodgy stick (it was the right kind of ram because an identical stick worked fine)
