You may want to test a couple of things.

First - try each memory module (assuming you got a 2x4Gig) in the first slot of the MB - and go into bios to verify it is being recognized. If they both pass - move on.

Second - put them in the correct banks for your MB (generally color coded) and see if 4 or 8GB is recognized. If not - swap positions. If it continues to fail - try the other color bank with both positions.
