Let me first simplify this post.
My 2nd ram slot is not working. Whenever there is a ram stick seated on that slot, it's not booting. The DRAM EZ DEBUG LED is always on. Not posting, nothing.
Possible reason:
May 17 - I tried to clean my cpu heat sink fan. Unscrewed it and pulled it carefully. Unfortunately, the cpu also came up and it's stucked in the heatsink. I was so scared because it is an AMD cpu. I got nervous because i might have bent some pins. I checked each pin carefully, nothing was bent. I managed to removed the stucked CPU from the heatsink. Then I installed the cpu back to the cpu socket. Again, I checked for bent pins before installing the cpu again. Once i've done that, I screwed the heat sink back, I opened my pc, boom. Didn't boot up.
What I did was remove the heatsink and cpu again. I was shocked to find 2 bent pins. I tried to straighten them up but DAMN I WAS AN IDIOT AND I BROKE THEM!! Now they're missing as well. I didn't mind it, i still re-seated my cpu back to its socket. I booted it up and it worked. Been playing games for 6 hours, no problem. No errors or such thing.
May 28 - I bought a new ram stick since I only have 1 piece of 4 gb ddr4
Ok, i was very excited to boot it up after i seated the newly bought ram to the mobo's 2nd ram slot. I opened my pc, not booting up. The DRAM EZ DEBUG LED is on. I dont know why. I tried everything again. Remove all components.
Once i removed the cpu, i saw another pin was missing. I dont know whats going on so i immediately put it back together again. I booted it up with 2 ram sticks installed (slot 1 and slot 2) same thing happens. I tried booting it up with 1 ram stick installed in slot 1, its working. Tried booting it up with 1 ram stick installed in slot 2, doesn't boot up.
So in short, both rams are in good condition. They're both working in slot 1 whenever slot 2 is empty. Slot 2 is the problem here
Maybe because of the missing cpu pins? Or the mobo pins are wrecked?
I heard that you cannot fix the cpu socket on an AM4 motherboard.
What should i do besides throwing my pc or buying a new one?
Should I buy a single 16gb ram stick?
Help
