I just bought a new stick of ram (amd 8g ddr3) to replace my ripjaw 4g ddr3. When i plugged it in. My tower would turn on but not the monitor. I tried removing the cpu cooler two access the second ram slot trying both sticks. Turning on the computer now only turns the tower and not the monitor on for about ten seconds and turning it off.

Make sure that your RAM is pushed all the way in until it makes a Loud click sound. It seems like you just haven't installed it all the way in. I know a lot of people that this has happened to and that was there case. it might sound dumb but give it a try.
