Have you tried using both sticks while swapping them around? Meaning trying different combinations of slots. If that doesn't work, you can return your RAM for a replacement/refund.

I don't understand your logic at all. If each stick works solo how can either of them be bad? IMHO the problem is on the MB, assuming the proper RAM is being used. I would flash the bios and if that doesn't work contact the MB support folks.
