Like I said newer high density memory with a older board usually don't work.
Use this scanner tool it guarantees compatibility if you buy from them.

Reply to Zerk2012 is it safe to do that, by the way I can ue my old 1x2gb module in case I wanted to boot up but is there anyway to make the new sticks work after booting from old ram?

Yes it is safe to reset CMOS and is always recommended after hardware changes like the memory and processor.
If you were using the DDR2 in the board then it needs to be reset for the new DDR3 memory.
Remove the old memory install the new memory reset CMOS and see if it will boot.

Reply to Zerk2012 I tried resetting CMOS and I installed the new modules but it didn't work.. I think I should only buy sticks that are verified by my motherboard manufacturer
