Could be the 2 sticks are not compatible with one another.
Are they the same name brand?

Also, I believe your mobo has three Ram slots. Try putting one stick in Slot 1 and the other in Slot 3.

You might try some software like belarc or a memory program that looks at both sticks of memory and tells you what they are. It would not be the first time PC2700 was mislabled as PC2100.
