Does a black dot on processor affect ram/ram slots?

[jaredmarcelino1998]

Hello! Does a black dot on the gold plate part of the processor affects the ram slot of my motherboard? I have a MSI z87s-G45. I want to do the dual channel but the 3rd and 4th ram slot wont work. I have 2 identical 4gb with the same speed. When I put it on 1st and 2nd slot, it works but when i put it on the 3rd and 4th there's no display.
I'm suspecting it's my processor. (See picture)

*I bought this motherboard 2nd hand but the seller kept claiming that it's fully functional. I trust him coz he has high rating as a seller on a particular website*

Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. Other combinations you decide to make have no guarantee to be compatible together. This also includes adding extra "identical" memory.

Try one single RAM stick in each of the slots. See what happens.

That one contact on the bottom of the CPU may be the issue.
Where did you get the CPU from?

What’s the speed of the ram? Also make sure that the latest bios update is installed. Also what the brand is the ram. Also the picture will not load so I cannot see the dot but I might check later and see

Ok, that pin could possibly affect the duel channel, is it burned, removed, or bent. You can try 1 stick at a time but the black dot might be a issue

I already tried one single stick at a time. It works fine on slot 1 and 2 but when I try placing it on either 3 or 4, there isnt any display. Ram speed is 1866 HyperX fury black 2x4gb. The bios is updated too. Version 1.9 same as the latest update at the MSI website.

I got the cpu from my brother. It's not brandnew tho, I think it's about 3 or 4 years old now.

There is one black square behind the cpu (the gold squares)

IMO its the motherboard, i had similar issue with a brand new motherboard before. The burnout slot on the cpu can affect performance and cause error even BSOD's but u wud had been able to boot using the ram in any slot.

that burn mark isnt related to memory compatibility, its just vss (ground), one missing is still fine

But why isnt my DIMM 3 and 4 slot not working? 1 and 2 works fine but when I place the ram on 3 and 4 it doesnt work. The motherboard is 100% working according to the seller. He did tested it with his i5 and 2 rams :/

Has he tested it in front of you or is he just claiming that?
