Bit of a problem with some RAM...

Alrighty, so I've got the spiffy new SolidWorks on my computer for the summer school deal they're putting on, and I decided that one gig of RAM for my Vista-run laptop just isn't cutting it. I looked around, and went to Fry's today and purchased two sticks of two gig DDR2 soDIMM RAM. [I wanted power! ].

Anyhow, onto my problem...I shut down my computer, uninstalled the old RAM, and plugged in the two new sticks. Turned my computer over, opened her up, pressed the power button. Power lights came on, hard-drive and etc started chugging, but nothing came onto the screen. After a few seconds all of the noises stopped, the processing light ceased blinking, and it just sat there.

After pulling them out, replacing them, etc, it still never booted. I replaced the old RAM and it booted just fine. My question to the great minds on this forum is what is the problem, and if I can, how can I fix it?

RAM Specs:
Crucial 200pin DDR2 soDIMM 2gig [x2]

Computer Specs:
Acer Aspire 5570-2977
Intel Pentium dual-core T2080
Intel graphics media accelerator 950
80GB Hard drive
DVD-Super Multi DL disc drive
[2x] 512mb DDR2
WLAN card

Thanks guys,
Parker
