Fry's salespeole are mostly useless in my experience...If you are absolutely sure the RAM matches your PC, not just the salesman saying "yeah it should be fine" then concentrate on troubleshooting/resetting the BIOS

I guess it's not still under warranty otherwise you would have given up already and got a new one..
