are you sure you have 64bit ?
32-bit version is limited to just 4GB of RAM.
try to clear the cmos
go to msconfig.exe and go to boot,then advanced option and make sure maximum memory box is unchecked

check the documentation of the motherboard and check if you are putting them into the right slots, sometimes you have like a A1,B1,A2,B2 and they have to be corresponding to which ones you put them in
