Mixing RAM is very likely to not work. Start by trying JUST the new RAM in the first memory slot. You are running a really OLD BIOS. The latest version on the Asus website is 1101 (you say you have 0209). You could TRY a BIOS update with your 2GB memory installed. Then try just the 4GB memory. If that works, then you might get the other RAM to work by MANUALLY setting the RAM parameters in the BIOS. BUT, don't be surprised if you are unsuccessful in getting the mixed RAM to work.

What's the model of the new DRAM - guessing a newer model of DRAM (post 2010) which are made with high density memory ICs, where your mobo was designed to the pre 2011 DDR3 made with low density ICs (chips). Look for the older line of GSkill NT series of Value DRAM, which was made with low density ICs
