Use the Edit button on your last post instead of double posting.

Anyway, so you get a BIOS screen with one stick of RAM or not?

Did you try each stick separately?

yes i tried them one by one

i think everything works. its just when i change a setting on the bios and save it. it restarts but nothing shows on the screen

Check that your memory timings and voltages are set correctly in the bios.

What do you mean by "everything" works? Did you get Vista installed?

If you can, leave the BIOS stock and do the "tapping Esc" procedure to get
your OS installed.

It's still trying to boot from the hard drive.

There must be one key that you keep tapping at startup to access the boot menu, so you can select to boot from USB, CDROM, or what have you.

Try some of the others I suggested above.
