Is it possible for 3 RAM slots to die all of a sudden?

Hey everyone, so like I mentioned in the title, I’ve been dealing with some serious stuttering and massive FPS drops while gaming. I thought I was running on 8 GB of Ram, but when I actually check my system specs, it’s telling me I only have 4 GB available. It makes zero sense because I know I have all the sticks in there. Now I'm stuck wondering why three out of my four slots seem completely dead, leaving only the last one working. I've tested the Ram sticks themselves and they're perfectly fine, but the second I try to pop them in together, the whole PC just refuses to boot up, no matter which
slot I use. I'm working with an older motherboard using a socket FM1 setup paired with an Intel Core i3 processor,

Probably not, though I'd say it's more likely one of the modules is just dying. Maybe try booting the PC with each one individually to test it out.

32-bit OS?

So, here is the breakdown of what I am seeing: first, I pop the first stick of Ram into the first slot, and the machine turns on, but the CPU cooler starts spinning faster than I've ever heard it before; you can hear the hardware running, but nothing actually happens on the screen.
2.When I try the second slot, it is the exact same story—the cooler goes into overdrive and then just sits there doing nothing.
3.If I put the Ram in the third slot, the computer immediately lets out this endless, single long beep that just won't stop, haha.
4.But then, when I move the stick to the 4th slot, the computer actually boots up.
5.And it is the same deal with the second stick of Ram; it only works when it is sitting in the 4th slot.

Nah, it's definitely 64-bit.

And whenever I try running both sticks together—whether I put them in the 1st and 3rd slots, or the 2nd and 4th, or even just side-by-side in the 1st and 2nd—the PC simply refuses to boot at all.
But then, if I move them into the 3rd and 4th slots, the computer actually manages to power on, only to get stuck in an endless loop of Automatic Repair. Once that clears, I just get hit with that "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart" error message over and over again.

So, I’ve run into this annoying little glitch
Error Reporting application error
The instruction at 0x00007FFFF47763D0 referenced memory at 0x00007FFFF47763D0. The memory could not be written
Click OK to terminate the program
The thing is, every single time I hit OK, the damn error just pops right back up in my face
(And just for context, this happens whenever I have both sticks of Ram installed in the 3rd and 4th slot)
