Did you find someoen saying that RAM doesn't work with your board or are you just basing your conclusion on this result? Most motherboards these days downclock RAM to whatever speed they need to boot so the fact that your RAM is DDR3 2000 and your board says its OC for that speed shouldnt matter unless it specifically has an issue with that RAM.
Try reseting the BIOS to default just in case and then try alternating the RAM (1 stick at a time) to see if it boots. Also does the motherboard give any kind of beep code on startup or is it 100% nothing?

all motherboards have jumpers to reset it, check in your manual. Have you tried the other suggestion of just using one stick of memory, different sticks, different slots?

if you dont think the ram works with your board, rma it before you're out of the timeframe for it and get something that works.
but as pik4chu said, there are jumpers on every motherboard to reset the cmos.. or you can just remove the cmos battery (about the size of a nickel) for a few minutes to let the memory erase and try again

Why are you using dual channel memory, when your board is made for triple channel? I don't know much about the platform, but I might have thought that could be a small issue.
