Dead Computer, HELP!!

Does the motherboard except 1g memory module ?
If not then it is possible that an IC (intergrated circuit) such as a driver or memory controller chip may have failed when you installed the memory. The memory may of had 5 volts or 12 volts on a contact pin or ground pin which fried the IC that connects to that pin due to the incompatible memory.
If the 1g memory is compatible then you may have installed incorrectly for just a moment thus creating what was stated above.

It is also possible that you have a cold solder joint or desoldered joint on the memory connector. Try applying pressing down on the memory module when the pc starts up.

Thanks Red!!
I looked at my Dell spec, and it says that it will go 1 gig, also did a system check at powerlead.com, it also said the same.
I called the kingston memory place and they say that they stick I got from them is the right one.

I spoke with the Dell tec, and at the end he says power supply or MB?? I have put the old memory in and still nothing?? I changed the jumper on the MB as told by dell and it would not go into maintance mode??

Looks real bad Guess I am going to have to take it somewere to get the power supply check, I don't have a meter.

Thanks all!! If you think anything elese let me know please!!
