*Update 2*

I've done what dai suggested and it didn't solve the problem, I did however noticed a slight difference between the two ram sticks. Kind of hard to explain, but the little bit that sticks out of the slot to align up with the ram stick seems to perfectly fit for the bottom slot, but on the top slot there's like a 0.5-1mm gap, between the bit sticking out and the cut out bit in the ram stick. I tried a harder force and various angles to get them to align perfectly but it won't go in any further. Perhaps this is the problem?

Another baffling thing is that when I went into the bios system, it tells me it can read 1,024mb ram...strange o_O
