Fans power on, but not booting ???Closed

Question

Hello,
I was adding new ram in a P4 machine of my brothers (I know Id rather throw it out than fix it) but anyways it would not take the ram, it is the same specs as the old ram. Pc had 1 512mb stick was upgrading to 2x512mb, both ram sticks work if only one is in at a time, if both are installed I got no video and dvd wont work take one out and everything was back to normal. So I google my problem and went to another site that said to: take out internal battery and install ram put it back in the turn on, if that doesnt work take the battery back out and turn pc back on then off...... After doing that the computer will not boot just the fans come on and 2 led in the front. Any suggestions would be great thanks
