No the RAM does not have to be of Dell brand, it can be from any RAM manufacturer, but it must be a specific type, refer to your owners manuel on the computer, or find your computers manuel at www.dell.com/directstore for exact type of RAM

In Asia somewhere sits this fella who answers the Tech help line for all things Dell and Gateway. Try calling him, if nothing else he will hand you off to at least 5 other interesting people who will also try to answer your question.\nDell 1-800-624-9896\nGateway 1-800-846-2301

Most Dell computers use proprietary RAM, but there are several 3rd party vendors that sell it.  Google "Dell RAM", and a large list will come up.

go to dell.com support and look for support on your particular laptop, and you will find how to enter the bios and change or delete it, if it is boot password, to start the laptop, you will have to call dell and see if they will help you unlock it, it is a theft deterrent

The problem most likely is with the new card Dell computers are made with specific parts for Dell computers even a Dell specific version of windows (that's why I hate Dell computers being that I would rather upgrade) the card even though having the same specifications as your old one is not the Dell model. My best answer would be to see if the computer is still under warranty of the store you brought it from (since you opened it Dell has probably voided their warranty) they might be able to fix your old broken video card.

Since it is an Emachine under warranty apparently you will just have to deal with the hassle of them sending you part by part. Next it will be a new motherboard, then new RAM, power supply... Companies like that don't really troublshoot, they just have you rebuild the computer until something works - at least thats what Dell usually does.
