Thats a faulty dimm slot. So you can either use 1 stick of ram or change motherboards. Id go with the motherboard.

Make sure their in the right slots. ram sticks dont go right beside each other. Theres always a slot in between them. It goes slot 1 slot 3 slot 2 slot 4. If your putting in 2 sticks. youd put them in slot 1 an 2. Also one of the sticks could be bad but id try the first bit before.
