When you say each memory works on its own, are both ram tested in the same dimm1 slot? If there is some unforeseen damage to dimm2 slot, then it would not work. Test the dell ram and new ram individually in dimm2 slot only and see if it still works.
Very valid point. I was under the impression that the first slot (DIMM1) needs to be populated first.
I tried both modules by themselves, separately, in DIMM2 slot and none works.
If you are saying that there is no rule on what slot the memory should be populated first then I am afraid the second slot has a damage and that's why it doesn't boot.
Oh well, if that's the case, I need to sell the 2 modules and buy a 16Gb and risk again.
I had this problem exactly the same diagnosis LED pattern both rams work on DIMM 2 but when either of them is placed on DIMM 2 the problems occurred. Someone from this community told me It might be a problem with the MB or with the memory controller in the CPU. I know MB was good so I checked the CPU since I frequently clean it. To my surprise, I see one bent connector, and carefully straightened it out. and both of my rams worked on both DIMM slots already.

Yeah looks like dimm2 slot is bad.
Micro is like laptop you can install single ram in either slot and it should work.
