Hi i just bought 2 new Ram as suggested from community , they are compatible (checked Mobo List)

so the ram are Corair Vengeance 1600 2x4gb 1.5v

Mobo is ASUS H81 Gamer.

What happend:

plugged in memory and got error beeps indicating memory problem.
then i tried to place just 1 didnt work either, then i put in the old ram changed some Ram settings and that for like 3-4 hours maybe more (took me all day, experimenting) after a long time i managed to get it working using only 1 of the new Ram. So is there someone who knows what settings i need to tweak to make this working?
BTW. i have 2 new sets of Ram here with me , thinking it was the new set problem i bought a different MAnufacturer , Kingston but they too dont work not even if i use 1...... I hope to get help asap cause i have to bring them back in case they faulty and its not mobo fault. Thanks much for help!
 
Solution
may be the both ram are not compatible with each other. It happens with me , since last night i was trying to add a new ram with old one but MO was only showing 1gb ram instead of 2 GB (Since each stick is 1GB) jus now i tried each 1gb stick with 512Mb stick, one combination did not worked but another 1gb =512mb works. Which concludes that my both 1gb sticks are incompatible with each other.
hope it will help you out
