I've been having some issues with my PC crashing during startup ever since I moved one of the RAM sticks from slot 1 to slot 4. It powers on and shows the monitor logo saying "Asus In search of incredible," but then crashes right after. The error codes I'm seeing include Memory_Management, Page_Fault_In_A_Non_Paged_Area, and System_Thread_Exception_Not_Handled. I'm currently using slots 2 and 4, and I'm hoping to find out what I can do to fix this problem.

First thing you should do is check your motherboard's user manual. It usually lists the optimal RAM slots for dual-channel support. If you're unsure of the layout, let me know the model number, and I can help look it up. Also, make sure the RAM stick is properly seated; it should click into place when you push it down effectively.
Try putting the memory back in its original slots. The system might be looking for RAM in slot 1, which is empty now, causing the crash. A lot of people suggest using slots 1 and 2 for the best performance, especially if it supports dual-channel. If you still have issues after that, we can explore more options.
