Try 3 and 4. Maybe it dosent realize its a dual-channel setup. some mobos require it in 3 and 4 or 1 and 2 like my DFI.

Are the two sticks the same? Did they work in dual channel before the rma? Have you tried resetting the bios?

Memory Is Identical And Have Tried Other Memory With Same Results.

Clear your CMOS then manually set your timings and voltage with one stick. Once you've done that install the other stick and see if it boots.
