If both sticks are, indeed, identical then there is a distinct possibility that something is faulty. Do you have any other matching pairs of RAM that you can use to verify the MOBO. Though I am suspicious of the RAM, Try them in another machine to prove the RAM. Can you get into BIOS with both sticks in place? Do you hear any Beeps? What beep codes do you hear? What is your system BIOS? Can you boot from a live CD?
