Fellow Optiplex 755 owner here. RAM can be a little tricky, I had to install it a few times to get it to work.
My first question is what RAM cards do you currently have?
I am a little thrown off by 2.5GB of RAM is it 3x 1GB sticks + a .5GB stick? I am not sure if it will run in that configuration. It may need to run in a 4x 1GB stick configuration, or a 4x 2GB configuration, or a 2x 2GB + 2x 1GB configuration.

It's 2x1gb and a .5 but I did take the .5 out before trying it
