Try atarting over making sure you has drives that need to be master or slave set right ,make sure the primary ied and secondary ied are plugged in to the righr socked ,and hope you didn't fry your ram playing with it.

What is the type of your motherboard .... how many beeps do you hear when the computer starts ?? if less than three ... it's a ram error ... or otherwise check your video card.
