Purple screen after getting new RAM!

Purple screen after getting new RAM!
Hey guys,
I have a huge problem: I just got a 2 GB RAM for my computer, because my Sims 3 was really laggy with 512 MB. I inserted the new RAM and now everytime I'm playing Sims 3, the screen gets first black, then purple with stripes, and if you push some keys it gets blue or white.
Is this because of the new RAM and my Sims doesn't accept it or is it because my Sims is stupid?
I reinstalled Sims 3 to see if it builds up on the RAM on the computer, but it still doesn't work. I have the latest driver, the right RAM.
My computer is an Acer Aspire 1690, XP. I ran the "Can You Run It" and that's what it said:

Is the RAM compatible with your computer?

Check to see if all of your drivers are up to date as well.

Yes, and I also compared it to the one I already had.
