What DRAM model #, if it's a newer model, it's probably made with high density memory chips which aren't compatible with the G41 chipset

is there any chance that the reason its not responding because i use only one ddr3 slot? because i dont really understand what dual channel is. can i use only one ddr3 stick on a dual channel mobo? or it has to pair with another same ram to make it happen?

No, the mobo and MC determine how things run(actually you do by what slot(s) you fill. But your mobos chipset will run a single stick in single channel mode i.e. it runs the stick as made as a 64bit device - when two sticks are populated in a dual channel config, the MC 'sees' the sticks as a single 128bit device, hence dual channel
