I would verify that the memory you're using is actually working properly. Try to boot to the new stick and see if it works. If not, it doesn't work. If it does, you may need to replace the original stick with the same stick that you are trying to use now.

PC3200 is backwards compatible with PC2700. Meaning you can install PC3200 into your motherboard but it won't run any faster than would PC2700, however it will not cause any harm and should work fine.
Emachine's would say you need PC2700 most likely because they're trying to sell you some.
One of your new memory modules or the memory slots on your computer may be defective. I recommend installing a single stick of memory and booting your system. If it is successful then shut it down, disconnect the power and install another stick. Boot again and keep doing so and by process of elimination identify the bad memory stick or the bad memory slot.
This is the "likely" cause and isn't too uncommon.
make sure they are compatible with your computer, there are alot of electronic stores (circuit city) was the worst at it, but will sell you the wrong ones and say they are backwards compatible.. usually P4 2.8 can run PC2700, some run PC2100, which im hoping yours is PC2700... if so, make sure they are NON-ECC also... i would just get 2 1 gig PC2700 DDR 200pin sticks and stick em in... good luck
Your motherboard supports DDR SDRam I assume the ram sticks you bought fit in the socket correctly and are the right way round?
Try the computer with each ram stick seperately. Just because ram is new doesnt mean its not defective.
What configurations do you have?
Are you using two corsair sticks or two kingston or a mix of both and what models are they?
maybe you must reset the bios in the motherboard. try to open your system then look for a 3 pin in the motherboard near in the CMOS battery.. it has a number 1,2 and 3 it is called jumper settings.... try to put the pin in number 2 and 3 then w8 after 10 seconds then gput it back to 1 and 2 in try to boot up.. ^^ i wish this could be help.. ^^
