Are they in the right spots?
Does the ram work in both slots by themselves?

If so contact corsair and ask for advanced shipping on a replacement kit.
Had the same issue awhile back. They will send a matching kit in return for your current set.

did you test each stick individually?

corsair might let you send both sets in and give you one complete set

crucial will ask for the bad stick only
