Question Asus P8z77-v RAM only working in one slot?

[Gengo318]

My mobo, an Asus P8z77-v has been having issues with running multiple RAM sticks. I've checked each slot individually with one stick, and each work with that stick showing video output. When I use another stick, the same result. However when using two sticks, (one in the first slot and one in the second slot) it doesn't show any video output. The MemOK/DRAM LED are not lit, meaning that everythjng SHOULD be worling, right? I've been toiling with this issue for awhile now, and I have no luck. Any ideas?

Have you tried inserting the sticks in slots A2 and B2, as suggested in your mobo manual, on page 2-5?

I have tried that with the same results above. I've double-checked all my RAM sticks' specs and they are all the same.

It may be easier for someone to help if you give more and detailed info about your specs. Now we know what mobo you have, and that you use at least 2 sticks of some kind of RAM.
For example, your mobo supports 120 different CPUs.

Any ideas?

Check cpu socket for bent/broken pins.
Make several high resolution photos from multiple different angles and show here.

Before I do, how would that have anything to do with my issue if the cpu and cpu cooler have never been removed?

Cpu pins might have been bent during initial installation of cpu.

As I've said in my first post, I have one stick running right now, but would like to have more in later.

You have a point. I don't know what the previous owner did to it too... here's what I got.
