Not sure if you tried this yet, but sometimes replacing the RAM can corrupt your HDD. You could try reinstalling Windows. If this fails, you could consider a reformatting of the HDD.
Before doing the reinstall, put your Windows CD in the drive, then on a restart go into the BIOS to make sure your computer boots from the CD ROM first. You may get in.
What version of Windows do you have?

Man, I own nothing BUT hp'*. Duh. I work there. I've fed every machine any kind of generic RAM and never had a problem.
SOME, not all, but SOME PC133 RAM is not backwards compatible at the 100 RAM speed.
