Your motherboard has two RAM slots, but the BIOS only recognizes slot 2. The system boots only when slot 2 is active, and Windows 10 appears to see half of your RAM as usable. CPU-Z shows both slots detected. The issue might be related to BIOS settings or memory configuration. Make sure msconfig's "Maximum Memory" option is enabled.

Are they located in slots 2 and 4, or 1 and 2? If it’s the latter, please adjust to 2 and 4.

It seems the RAM isn’t fully engaged, though the signals from the CPU’s SPD chip remain intact. A simple fix would be to reinsert the RAM sticks carefully, as many issues stem from poor connections between the CPU and the slot.

Do you use a specific GPU or the IGPU?

It's typical for Windows 32-bit versions to work with over 4GB RAM. Confirm you're using a 64-bit edition.

No, I didn't inform the motherboard about this in the BIOS.

Some people suggest checking for pins in the CPU socket on the motherboard, but I’m worried about damaging anything by removing the CPU.
