First remove the new memory chips and restart the computer. You need to unplug the computer before removing the chips because some computers still have power applied to the memory when they are simply turned off. If that doesn't fix things - again unplug the PC and remove the video card and reinsert it. You may need to press a tab to unlock the card from its socket.

Good Luck
