Reset your Cmos 1st to reset any changes so it goes to default settings..
I'd advise against having mix n' matched amounts of RAM if at all possible. You said you switched the RAM around, did you try it with the original RAM before the new RAM? also did you try 1 stick at a time to see if the system will post?
