Q: Won't turn on after installing new (additional) memory cards
I installed 2 new memory cards in my 27" imac (mid 2011), following the instructions from apple, and now my computer won't turn on. I hear the fan running, but there is no video and it just beeps.Any suggestions?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Just to avoid any confusion: both OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial are recommended RAM vendors (my personal preference is OWC) and both offer lifetime warranties. OWC's customer service is excellent; can't comment on Crucial as I haven't bought any RAM there.
And, I am also surprised that Apple would send you to Newegg for no-name RAM (or anywhere else for that matter).
To be sure, follow OWC's instructions on how to find your model identifier. They also have excellent install videos on their site.
