It may be due to damage from the power outage - when the power goes out, there is usually a "spike" that occurs. A good surge suppressor will stop it in most cases (the older they get, the more likely they could fail - they should be replaced after a while....a 20 year old suppressor won't help much).

If the mobo and/or PSU were damaged, this could be the result. Since both RAM works individually, it would appear the problem is with the mobo.

If you have 4 sockets, and you have dual channel RAM, you have "paired" sockets (see your owner's manual). In all of the mobo's I have at home, they are #1 and #3 are the first set, and #2 and #4 are the second set. If you put the RAM in 1/3 or 2/4, the RAM works in dual channel mode. If you put the RAM in 1/2 or 3/4, they only work in single channel mode (slower).

Electricity issues? That would be an indicator of problems as well....damage to any part in the case can result from power surges....
