Added more memory won't boot up chiming recognises memory why
SOURCE: My Power mac G4 Quicksilver has problems.
The folder with the blinking question mark means that your Mac cannot find a bootable system on the internal drive. This usually means either that the drive has been corrupted or is not accessible. The proper repair procedure is to boot from the system installation CD and use the Utility menu to run Disk Utility / Repair Disk on the internal drive. But at this point, I'd have to ask you to elaborate on your claim that you "messed up your Super Drive" before I can figure out how to proceed from where you are.

If it only boots to a blue screen, try booting up in Safe Boot mode:

If this does not work, boot from your install DVD and use Disk Utility to repair the disk:

If this does not resolve the issue you may need to use your isntall disc to perform an Archive and Install:

The ram might not be the right one. The ram that you put on there must be apple.
