Make sure the old RAM is seated in their sockets all the way; perhaps one or more of them came loose while you were putting in the new RAM.

The number of beeps is an indication of what's wrong. How many beeps are you hearing? Google BIOS beeps for explanation of what the various beep sequences possibly mean.

Also, another thing to try is take out the old RAM and put in the new RAM only - see if that works.

It's possible the timing of the new chips is different than that of the old and the CMOS is confused - hence, the suggestions by some to take out the CMOS battery. But don't do that yet - try the new RAM by itself first. If that works, then use the new RAM only, and buy more that's the same brand from the same supplier to add to it.
