Intel screen freezes and does not proceed further when my ddr2 RAM is placed in dimm slot 1 .. but works fine in slot 2 .. i have cleaned the slot but still no same problem ?
Any help would be appreciated

What is your motherboard model number?

What is the model of your memory module, and is there only one DIMM total?

What is your current bios version?

Dear Darkbreeze , motherboard is - DG43NB (intel)
RAM is kingston ddr2 2gb 800mhz and yes there is only one memory module BIOS version : NBG4310H.86A.0069.2008.1117.2016

Ok, so you have the latest BIOS version, the memory is definitely fully compatible and the motherboard was released in 2008 making it about 11 years old. I'd say you have a bad motherboard since the memory works in another slot, so it's not the memory itself.

In most cases 5-7 years is a pretty good run for a motherboard. 8-9 years is fairly uncommon and 11 years is rather exceptional. I think you need to consider an upgrade or a replacement motherboard, and finding one of those that isn't equally antiquated is probably next to impossible. It's very doubtful you'll find any new old stock that isn't more expensive than a brand new, much newer generation motherboard.

I don't really see any scenario where it's NOT the motherboard to blame.
