I have recently built a PC and I have found that two of the four DIMM slots are not working. My CPU is an Core i7-8700k and I have a ASUS Prime z390-A motherboard. I have built computers in the past and all have worked 100% fine. The first error i received was the MemOK! LED turning on. My system fans seemed to be turning and CPU working, but the computer would not post. I suspected a bent CPU socket pin as I have tried single RAM sticks and tried them in different slots, updating the BIOS, and even reinstalling the entire system altogether. I have now found out that 2 of the 4 DIMM slots furthest from the CPU socket are not working, and if I try to put a stick of RAM in them, the system just doesn't post. If I put the two sticks of RAM in the 2 working slots, the system runs just fine. Can you guys shed some light on what's going on?
And if it is a bent CPU socket pin are there ways that I could fix it without just asking ASUS to repair it?
