Default New Ram, No Boot

Ok to start off my pc is a...

ASUS P4P800-VM
2.4 ghz
geforce 7600 bfg
128 mb of ram
Windows XP

still in production

To start of my ram is Samsung (1GB) X2 DDR 400 Pc3200 Non-ECC

My motherboard takes all of this. Here is my problem when i change over from my old ram to my new it will not boot the screen stays black, everything else you can here running smooth just no Beeps and no Bios which mean no XP which mean no ram detected) I have tried the old switcharoo on the ram in different slot and switching sticks.... To me the ram appears to be good. I smellt it for the blow electronic smell.....nothing. I then put back in the old ram lights up fine boots ok... I have upgraded the bios thinking maybe it will allow the ram to be execpted after all it is the lastest manual, and there for needs the lastest bios. I then tried Old switcharoo again nothing. I wonder if it could be a dumb setting like changing something in bios for the new ram, I have already tried uping the voltage and changing the frequencys to 400 instead of auto. Nothing aswell i think it might be something like changing it from singel to dual setting.. or i'm wondering if i have to upgrade the chipsettings part in bios seperatly.

I don't know what happening in there, but i hope there something that can help. Does anyone have any ideas

Thanks Doug

its possible that the voltage is incorrect for the new RAM. go into theBIOS (on the working RAM) and see if you can find vDIMM (memory voltage) and set it to what the new RAM uses. OOC, what RAM did you buy
