asus as7333 motherboard
athlon 1.67 ghz processor
windows xp sp2
512 mb ram

I made an idiotic stupid mistake. I attempted to add ram to my computer without knowing if it was the proper stick or not. I attempted to boot it after installing the ram and I got nothing but beeps from my motherboard. I figured it wouldn't work. I removed the ram and rebooted. My motherboard continued to give me steady beeps and would not boot. I reseated my original ram and plugged everything back in and hoped for the best. Now my computer will not boot, and does nothing but give me a steady beep. I tried unplugging power to motherboard and plugging back in, removing battery and plugging back in.It will not boot. CAn anyone tell me what I destroyed and how I can get my computer running again? Thanks.
