CPU: AMD FX-6350
MOBO: GIGABYTE GA78-LMT-USB3 rev 5.0
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4gb 1600MHz
GPU: Msi GTX 660
PSU: Corsair CX500

When I have them both sticks of ram in, won't post. Have tried a single stick in every slot.
But when I remove both of them theres a missing RAM beepcode. Does that mean they are both DOA

DOA - Dead on Arrival

If you are able to boot into BIOS, then enable XMP and then check if it boots else try manually setting the speed to 1333MHz and then see if it boots.

Do you have any other memory which is known to work with this motherboard? If you have it then install it and try a BIOS upgrade but before doing so trying resetting the CMOS as well. Then install the new memory. If none of the above works...

Then install the new memory. If none of the above works then you are looking at RMA. Try ValueRAM from crucial or other sites like (Newegg.com , Memorystock.com etc)
