Default Corsair DHX boot problem

Attempting to upgrade RAM from 2gb to 4gb, but when the Corsair ram is connected monitor remains blank & LED continues to blink (versus the solid green when working). Normally at 5 seconds after power-on fans audibly slow & monitor turns on, but this does not occur when corsair ram is installed. Otherwise computer appears to be booting normally (all lights come on & recieve the 'windows didn't not shut down properly' message when I boot from original configuration).

Any help would be appreciated!

Test done:
*Default BIOS loaded, but ATA controller diver error occurred & had to use the recovery disc to fix... problem still persisted afterwards.
*Monitor works in original configuration after Corsair ram is removed.
*Unpluged monitor, dialog box appears with "No Connection".
*All configurations of the ram modules yeild the above result (2 Corsair, 1 Corsair module, 4 combined, etc.).

Replacement Ram: Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX (2x2 GB)

Original Setup...
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium (64bit)
RAM: A-Data ADQVE1A16K (2x1 GB)
Monitor: Dell CTR M570 (VGA)
CPU: Duo 2 Core Q6600
Video Card: nVidia 8800GT
Motherboard: ASUS P5N-E 650i
Power Supply: Thermaltake 750W

All current BIOS Memmory Timing Setting state all set to Auto.

No idea how this could happen except the modules being DOA.
