do you have DVD playing software? WMP does not natively support DVD playback.

Do a google search fro Media player classic to play your DVD.

Run your memory through memtest.

Yep you need something like PowerDVD, WinDVD etc to play your DVDs. For the RAM it sound like the stick (or slot) is faulty, your PC (or Win) has probs addressing the amount of memory or you're trying to run the RAM too fast (raw speed or just timings) oe there's another incompatibility (prob mobo vs RAM). Try the new stick in place of the old stick.
