Stupid question: For it to be a DIMM chip, it should have those mini black modules on both sides? This new chip calls it self a DIMM with those black modules only on one side of the chip.

Dimm is a reference to it's length in pins. Dimms are 160 something pins if I recall correctly. DDR Dimms are
180 something pins. Really old stuff was 72 Pins
At any rate, try swapping th enew one into the other empty slot. Often, the BIOS has a check order for the dimm slots, and you may be failing there if the order is full-empty-full. In theory, your user manual should tell you the order to install memory in the dimm slots.
