Question I cannot use RAM slot A1 or A2 on my motherboard since Installing new GPU and resetting the BIOS ?

Mobo: MSI Pro B760-VC WiFi
CPU: I7-13000F
GPU: 5080
RAM: 32GB Corsair vengeance 6000 40c
CPU cooler: Not Sure
SSD/HDD:MSI 2tb
GPU: 5080 PNY OC
PSU: CORSAIR HX1000i Fully Modular Ultra-Low Noise ATX Power Supply
OS: Windows 11

I had the RAM in dual channel using A2 and B2 prior to my new GPU installation. I checked the pins on the CPU. I checked the tightness on the heatsink to CPU. I have updated bios and reset bios again. I have activated XMP.

PC will boot when a RAM stick is inserted in B1 or B2, but it will not boot when RAM is in A1 or A2

I have also upgraded my PSU for the new GPU from 650 to 1000 watts.

I'm running out of ideas, don't know what to do. It was working fine when I had my old GPU.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I have also upgraded my PSU for the new GPU from 650 to 1000 watts.
Wattage isn't the only thing you should look for when buying into a PSU, you need to invest in a reliably built unit. To add what you've stated is the advertised wattage, we will need to know it's make and model in order to gauge it's quality(worthiness as a PSU).

I checked the pins on the CPU. I checked the tightness on the heatsink to CPU.

LGA1700 socket pins are extremely tiny and fragile.
If you removed cpu from socket, then you may have damaged/bent some pins.

Make several high resolution photos from different angles for cpu socket and show here.

The GPU is brand new and the PC worked when using the old 4070. The RAM worked in dual slot when using the old 4070 GPU.
