    Re-seat the graphics card (assuming you are not using onboard vga). You may have moved it a bit when installing the ram. It's worth a try anyway.

    The computer is a Prestigio with an AMD 64 Athlon, the memory was from crucial and it was 4gb

    does the computer have a motherboard speaker? Can you hear any beeps when it starts up?

    Was the PC turned off at the mains plug at the wall?

    Just because the PC is shut down doesn't mean that the power supply is switched off, it needs to be turned off at the switch on the power supply or at the wall if no switch on power supply
