himcan you pls explain what had happen to my system?i just added a memory then suddenly it wont work anymore and now my motherboard is dead?what had transpired?
Well, if you didn't change nothing then it's obviously broken.
Although, try resetting the bios to make sure that the new ram didn't mess anything up, should be a little lithium battery on the mobo, unplug the power supply then take the battery out for about a min, put it back, plug the comp back in, then put the original ram back in and then try again.
If that doesn't work, you probably need a new mobo replacement. I'm going to assume that your cpu and everything else is fine.

A lot of things could have happened while you changed the memory. Probably need a replacement but the last thing you could do is clear the bios and that's about it.
The fact that there are no beeps means the mobo is unresponsive and probably not working properly. Try boot with no memory, if you get no beeps then it definintely is the mobo.

You need to take the time to communicate more information and be more clear.
1) Why did you change power supplies? How do you know the "new" one works?
2) Put the old psu back (unless you are absolutely certain it is broken) and use one stick of your new 1GB memory, clear CMOS, load defaults, edit them and save. Then boot up. Tell us what happens.
Maybe the RAM is set to AUTO for all the timings, and the sticks have different timings. This can cause boot up hangs. Clear the BIOS, as suggested by others, and manually set the RAM speed and timings to relatively high settings. Please list the actual model of all sticks of RAM, and we can give you some ideas to use for the timings.
