I had exactly the same problem on several machines at work.

Check if 4Mb of RAM which you added is of the same type, three or nine chip,
all modules have/don't have parity and are of the same manufacturer.

I know suppliers who do not ensure that goods you receive will work together
and do not understand that 1Mb SIMM is different to another.

Another point, did your memory arrived in sealed electrostatic bags, several times
I received memory in bags with broken seal. I always had a problem with that memory.

You could also try to put new memory into first bank and old memory into second bank
