Do you want to know the cause or the work around? The last three letters of your serial number will tell us your exact machine. What RAM chips do you have for this machine?

I have found on some of these "bad slot machines" that a lesser RAM chip will work when the higher ones will not. I've been able to install 512 k chips in slots that no longer will take the 1 GB chips and its worked fine. Other just won't take anything. It's worth a try if you have the old original chips lying around.

Did you try the HP RAM in both slots to see if it works at all?
