That's NOT a good thing :(

Either the first stick is bad or a slot is bad or there is an
overheating problem.

Check the BIOS temp screen by running the memtest until it locks, hit
the reset button and go to BIOS and check temps. It cool quickly so you
will need to work fast. Or get a remote thermometer (one of those
infrared ones for the children ears) and you can get spot check of temps
at the base of the heat sinks.
