Who has time to help me fix my computer today?

I just got a new stick of ram, and I'm having trouble getting my computer to work. I'm also having problems with my video card. I have an asus board, and they're tech support doesn't really help. I have a k8n mobo (just k8n, nothing on the end). I have two 512 pc3200 corsair valueselect sticks of ram. My mobo manual tells me to put one stick in dimm1 and dimm3, but when I do so it doesn't boot (doesn't post at all). It doesn't make any sounds out of the case speaker either. If I try either one of the sticks in dimm1 then they both work (but obviously not at the same time), so it can't be the ram, but must be the mobo (right?). The tech support technician had me unplug the power, take out the battery, and clear the cmos. This didn't work either. Same exact problem. Anyone have any ideas?

update: I have tried the ram in every combination
 
i'd say something is wrong with dimm slot 3. get it rma'ed, or return to the vendor you bought it from.

do you think if I updated my bios that that would help at all?

As long as doing so wont void the warrenty it couldnt hurt. I would just RMA the motherboard though, it seems like it is the culprit.
