Could be the game. Was it the same one you played the day before? Was it burned at 1x (should be)? What software did you use to rip/burn the game?

ICP, you should type with caps off, people might think you're yelling (actually they WILL think you're yelling). Are you sure you got the correct chip? I know when I installed mine and put the PS2 back together I punctured the ribbon cable that connects the reset and eject buttons to the main board. Maybe you're having cable issues too. Other than that I don't know, maybe it's wired wrong.

Why not mail it off and pay like $70 to have it installed by a professional?

It's a illegal to copy games that you do not own but it is not illegal to modify your PS2 or install a modchip (unless you're in the UK) so you can play backups of games you own. I've lost over $150 in games that got ruined before I had a modchip installed and backed up my games. If you own the game the DMCA allows you to make (one) copy of it for backup purposes.

Mod chips aren't illegal in Te USA. It is Illegal to install a modchip to get it to play copied games that aren't yours.
