Stager them in the slots. That might help. Also, reseting the CMOS can solve problems.

Also, did you try just with the kingston?

Well, it's too late at this point but for future reference it's generally a bad idea to mix different RAM. Same make, model, speed, and size ideally should be identical.

Check to see if they're running identical latencies/voltages. If not then boot with one set, and set the higher of the two voltages and the looser (higher #) of the timings. Also similar to what PVTCaboose1337 said, try arranging them differently in the slots.
