Try slots 2 and 4

A good option as well is to consult the manual. RAM and front panel buttons are the one thing I use that thing for and man have they saved me. If you don't have the book anymore, OP, try this link from ASROCK. I found it by simply looking up your motherboard model and navigating to the support section. There are also drivers located there if you haven't installed those.

Would you be able to post a picture of the sides of the two sticks with the model number and that info? Maybe that will help? Does your BIOS recognize each stick?
