I can't get both sticks of ram to work

I recently upgraded motherboards, and my 2 sticks of 2100 ram don't work together any more. Before I got the new motherboard, they were working fine as an ultra pair in a gigabyte board. Before that motherboard they were working fine in a soyo board.

Over this past weekend, I upgraded to an ECS 7S5-A2 and AMD 64 3000+ (fry's deal) and after I assembled the computer, it wouldn't post. The problem was fixed when I removed 1 of the 2 ram sticks. Since then, i've gotten the computer to run fine with either ram stick in either slot. When I put both in (in either order) the computer will turn on, but won't post.

The sticks are kingston value ram. The Kingston stickers say that they're the same type of ram, but the memory chips are from different manufacturers, and the two sticks were purchased about 6 months - 1 year apart.

Aside from buying a new motherboard and new ram to test which is broken, anyone have an idea which is broken?

thanks a lot for your time.
 
Try each stick one at a time. If they both work that way, then check out your mobo manual with regard to which slots you can use for more than one stick. Some are very specific.
 
both sticks work on their own, and there are only 2 slots. I'll check the manual tonight. It was probably wrong of me to assume the motherboard was idiotproof.

thanks for the reply.
