ASUS P8H61-M Memory slot to the farthest works only.

My friend recently bought a new motherboard but for some odd reason when he only installs one memory the one farthest away from the CPU. Everything will boot-up and it runs fine. When he tries to install both of his sticks on both slots the computer won't even boot-up (No-beeping sound). He tried installing one stick of ram to the slot that is closest to the CPU. Same thing no boot-up or beeping sound. BIOS is correct to the ram module, updated the drivers, and even exchanging the motherboard for the same one. Any suggestion and thanks for the help guy's.

Are the memory sticks identical?
What does the mobo manual say?
