Use compressed air to blow any dust out before removing the memory chips, With the system unplugged from the wall remove all memory chips and insert your first chip into the black socket #1 as described starting on Page 3-4 of the following document
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01549447.pdf
turn the system on and look for any error messages as described quote
If an incompatible memory module is detected the NUM LOCK will blink for a short period of
time during POST and an error message may or may not be displayed before the system hangs.
If the new stick of memory works then unplug and add the remaining. Channel A is the set of black sockets

Hello
Give all possible details, otherwise you will just have an endless question / answer game
You show four hp memory modules.. ok?
you show two other modules of brands and can be of different characteristics?
You say you want to replace the modules, but only two then?
@BeemerBiker told you to try just one..
then you just say
"When I replace the DIMMs, it causes to freeze my computer during POST?"
but you don't say the result of the tests he told you, do you?
your question
"What happens when I replace the DIMMs?"
The answer has been given, it seems to me.
If no problem, the computer should restart, normally..
So answer this correctly:
what happens if you remove all hp modules, and just restart with a new module?
What if it works fine with a new module, but then you add an original HP module?
good continuation
