  1. If removing the RAM stick that you just installed fixes it, then that could mean the RAM is bad and you'd have to run memtest86+ http://memtest.org/ or something like that to verify. (This is unlikely, but possible)

    If it's still not working after removing the second RAM stick, then you may want to test the microphone on other PCs with the same and different Operating Systems if possible to make sure the mic didn't just happen to die right when you installed your new RAM. (Also unlikely, but also possible)

    Hope one of these helps with your issue.
