1. I opened up CPUZ, and looked in the SPD tab
2. i noticed that i could not find the second stick of ram, that should be in the second slot
3. i check the slot to make shure it was working, it was, i also ran memtest(no error)
4.I put them into slot 1 + 3, they showed up and are running properly, but there not in Dual Channel, so the problem is with DC

Any suggestions?

Are both slots color coded the same color?? some boards use slot1 +2 for dual
and some use slot1+3 or 2+4 but normally they are color coded so you cant go wrong you should find the other stick in the drop down in cpu-z select slot 3.
