If the BIOS splash screen comes up, it means the machine posts. I didn't even know a memory issue can cause a PC to post but crash in BIOS before Windows loads. Usually if there's any sort of issue with RAM, the machine simply won't post and should give out error codes. I know dropping capacity and speed of DRAM worked, but could it be the iGPU that was actually the issue? These Asus oem boards have some weird BIOS sometimes. Maybe disable iGPU if there's an option in the BIOS, then try different capacity. The slow down could be the result of cripplingly low amount of RAM instead of the CPU. Although with everything said, first gen i3 likely doesn't have much to give these days anyway. It would probably run most tasks fine but any simple single task could easily max out the CPU.

I snatched up an i3-2120 about a year ago for $0.01 and free shipping.. and I still see them on Ebay for similar pricing even today. I absolutely love this kind of deal, and I find myself snatching up these super cheap CPUs a few times a year to do an ultra-cheap build-and-flip. My favorite one of these was a Xeon E3-1220v5 CPU I picked up (virtually the same as an i5-7400) for $0.99 and free shipping. One quick thought on the odd behavior - while it may be due to an internal issue, one thing I try when I get any used CPU is to take a soft clean cloth with some isopropyl alcohol and clean the pads on the bottom of the CPU. I've had a few quirky CPUs that I did that with that worked find afterwards.

Also, for anything predating Intel i series 4th gen (that includes the 64 bit capable P4s, Pentium Ds and Celeron Ds) it's a good idea to disable the meltdown and spectre protection (this also applies to Linux by the way). The difference in performance is really noticeable. This is of course a security issue, but used responsibly will make Your life much more enjoyable on these older systems.

So the loading times at some games were as long or even longer than some tape loading 8-bit games from the 1980s. I remember we would eat dinner at my friends' place (thanks to his mom) while waiting some of the games to load on his Amstrad CPC464. Circa mid to late 80s. It's a shame this i3 was broken as I am guessing a proper one would make for a better overall experience, with the extra RAM. I do wonder how the iGPU on it would work. It should be better than the dreadful 945 or 950. It's a shame it doesn't support Intel's Quick Sync as that would give it points in doing some light video editing work.

About Fallout 4, i think you had the same issue I've encountered. Somehow with the new updates it add a double buffering which cannot be removed. What's worse is that if you have higher than 60 Hz it seems to apply a freaking triple buffering, as I had mine locked to 55fps (165hz). Only solution I found was to unlock the framerate via console command (or edit the .ini) and apply a framerate limit with Rivatuner (because of course physics is still tied to framerate)

i have an AMD ryzen 5 2600 that behaves weird with RAM. 2 sticks of RAM is fine even with XMP, but the moment i use 4 sticks and XMP, crash, so i had to turn XMP off and manually time the ram very slightly until it was stable past the base clock speed. After upgrading to a 5800x3d the issue completely vanished and i was able to overclock the very same RAM past the XMP profile with ZERO issue. It may be the memory controller on the CPU. try using the primary RAM slots only and then try bigger RAM sticks and see if that works, if you are so inclined off course. :)

I used a first gen i3 until 2017. It was a pretty bad experience, wouldn’t recommend. Now I have that cpu just sitting on my desk
