The RAM itself might be bad. It happened to me, recently.

try flashing the bios to latest version
using only 1 stick of ram and the bios reset to defaults before flashing

Are you actually trying to install RAM while the PC is running?! You do not do that. EVER! That can easily damage the RAM. You might be able to add an HDD while powered up, because of SATA PnP, but RAM is not PnP.

both of them work when put in the same slot, it is also a brand new motherboard. I only just flashed a light on the b1 and b2 slots and i havent seen any dust on both of them

Do both sticks work in A1 by themselves? Does the confirmed working stick of RAM work in A2?

Is this a brand new motherboard?

Double check the non-working RAM slots for debri with a magnifying glass or similar
