My G5 won't turn on...Blinking power button/white light every 4 seconds

I have a G5 dual 1.8 power PC...Bought some ram put it in & booted up. Then a red light came on the logic board behind the power button. The machine wouldn't turn on....I called apple care & we rearranged the ram, now the red light is gone but my system still won't boot up. The white power light blinks every few seconds...
the apple store told me sorry can't help because your machine is vintage... ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

Even if my logic board is fried is there a place to buy one on the cheap?

Does your G5 have 4 or 8 memory slots?

What type of ram did you try installing and were you installing it in pairs(meaning same type and size?)
Did you buy the right ram? PC2700 or PC3200 is probably the most compatible and cheapest to install in there.
