Okay so you have tried both sticks in each of the colours. The orange ones look look the best option. We can leave that part there. Have you cleaned out the slots? While SWITCHING OFF at the mains but leaving the plug in the socket (to ground) and using a brush and holding a hoover to get any crap out.

just when I thought this whole mystery was nearing an unfortunate inconclusive end, something kinda weird happened this morning. When I went to start up my comp regularly with the 1x 1gb g.skill stick installed, like I have done for the past few days, it wouldn't pass the bios screen and just kept restarting just like it did when I tried to put 2x the 1gb sticks in. For some reason now my comp is giving me trouble with just the one stick, even though I know it's worked. The only way im on a working comp now is because I put my 2x 512s in and they worked. Don't know if that changes anything, but hopefully it pushes the troubleshooting towards a more specific problem?
