The pairs of modules must be installed in
A1 & B1 as a pair
A2 & B2 as a pair
So the 1 Gig Pair should be in A1 and B1 not A1 and A2
or they should be in A2 and B2 not B1 and B2

You may need to download and install the chipset drivers
You may also need to update the bios

Here is the link to the asus website for your board

Check the memory is installed properly
If that doesn?t work
Try the chipset drivers
If that doesn?t work
Try the bios upgrade
