Help with memory problem

I just built my system and my MB will only except 1 stick of Kingston KVR memory. I have tried each stick individually and had success with each one. I have tried both in any combination of slots and all I get is a beep on post. One thing to note though is when I stick one in slot 1 and one in slot 3 the system will post but freezes after recognizing the 2 256 modules. Is there something I am missing here? I have unpluged HD, CDROMS, and still it won't take 2 sticks.
Hardware:
MSI K8N Neo nForce3 (7030)
2 Kingston KVR400x64C3a/256 (mb compatible)
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (2.01 GHz)
ATI Radeon 9550
WDC WD800JD serial ATA HD
Please help me......
 
I can't help specifically with your problem, but will let you know that maybe the RAM is faulty. I have a very similar setup to yours (same mobo, similar CPU, KVR but 2x512). I have my Kingston sticks in slots 1 and 2 with no problems.
 
When you are only using one stick, do you always put that one stick in the same slot, or have you tried putting one stick into different slots? It sounds like either a mobo problem or a RAM problem, and if you can use one stick in any slot, I'd say ram.

If you could memtest it on someone else's computer that would probably tell you right away.
