Have you checked by putting in just one extra stick at a time to see if one of them are bad?

Yes i have tried each memory stick individually in the first available slot! Each time has been the same when i boot up the pc the hard drive powers up but my monitor just says there is no signal. i have even tried replacing the original memory with one of the new ones and that still has the same result.

Where'd you get your RAM? What brand?

Could it be registered or ECC?

Sounds like the RAM you bought is either incompatible with the Dublin or defective.
