Have you tried to boot from the Apple Hardware Test CD? It should find a
defective RAM stick fast.

Failing that, remove the new RAM and try to boot again. If it boots OK, get
the new RAM replaced.

Strange, though. I had a new RAM module go bad on me about a year ago. The
computer just frose, forcing a reboot. When I booted up again, I got an
alert that a defective RAM module had been detected and that the system
would continue to boot disabling the defective RAM - which it did
successfully. It showed 768 Meg of RAM instead of 1 Gig.
