Recheck all the wires and stuff and make sure the computer is plugged in. I've had a time where the problem was sitting right in front of my face and I couldn't figure out why the hardware wasn't working >.<.
When you say that the wires are immovable, did you actually try disconnecting them? I'm not going to go so far as to say disect your computer, but it helps if you have a clear view of what you're doing. It also lets you use the white clips that help secure the RAM in place.
It's very likely that your motherboard is unable to detect the RAM that you put in, or you did not put it in properly. Again, the white clips help. I think the beeping noise means that the POST test has failed, and RAM not being installed is one way to fail it. (I'm at a college computer that has no sound)
Maybe the hardware is faulty, as it is an old computer. Not likely though. Remedying for this should be a LAST resort!
Maybe Fiel could do a better job than I can, but these were the things that shot through my head.
