Put the old RAM back in, and send it back to HP. Sure, it's dishonest but eh, it's the only way to get it fixed right. [even though they will just give you a whole new comp]

did you try the old ram in the same ram slot or any of the other slots? The RAM you purchased probably isn't compatible with that HP MoBo.
