Issue with the second memory channel is occurring.
The issue might stem from the socket compatibility or motherboard support for the second memory channel. Even though both sticks operate in single-channel mode, a mismatch could prevent proper communication. Check the motherboard documentation to confirm channel support and ensure the correct slot is used. If needed, try a different slot or consult a technician.
I believe the memory controller in that Intel chip generation is likely on the board itself, which may have failed. Since the hardware is quite outdated, the issue could actually be with the motherboard instead. It's tough to pinpoint the problem without another board and processor, but upgrading might be necessary at this stage.
