So after installing a 1 GB stick of RAM and taking the CR battery out and in my Dimension 4500 will not boot. I get three beeps and then nothing. No output to the monitor and no detection of the keyboard. I've checked and double checked that absolutely nothing was loose and now I'm at a loss.

Dell Dimension 4500 beeps on startup and does not boot
After installing two 512 MB sticks of RAM, my Dimension 4500 will not boot. I get three beeps and then nothing. No output to the monitor and no detection of the keyboard. I've checked and double checked that absolutely nothing was loose and now I'm at a loss. Please help.
