RAM related error codes, Centris 650

I have just recently added 2 X 32Mb DRAM sims to my Centris, both brand new, made by a company at confirms these are compatible specifically with a Centris 650.

It started perfectly first time, and I used it for an hour, amazed at the speed increase from the 16Mb specification it was when I bought it.

HOWEVER, since then, I have not been able to get the Centris to work at all. On startup, I get a smiley Mac to start with, and then after about 20 seconds or so it switches to a black screen, sad Mac with errors 0000000F

00000002

I get these errors now every time, having removed the new RAM sims, changing slot positions, just using the original RAM simm that came with the Centris, and I get this almost every time. If I remove all the DRAM expansion Simms, the computer starts up to a happy face, the hard drives periodically does a few things, but after 20 minutes, I have got no further than a smiley Mac. Occasionally I get a different error code (second line) with 00000003 or 0000000a,

A bit of web searching suggests that these error codes relate to the RAM, but now I want to work out how to resolve this problem... Can anyone offer some advice here?

Much appreciated...
