It's either that mobo only sees single sided ram, or only one is working.

I suspect the ram.

I am using memory recommended by Crucial technology for use with my motherboard. I think I have pushed the memory in far enough becuase the clips on the side go down.

ok have u checked how much ram ur cpu can withstand
thur is a limit if u didnt know

[ruperdupe]

yes my motherboard has a limit of 3GB

i think u shuld send ur ram back and get some new ones maybe they are broken or something

Test it first, with Memtest86 (http://www.memtest.org/#downiso). Get the floppy one precompiled if you have a floppy or the iso to put on cd if you don't.
