Try testing with single RAM module each slot on board. See if all slots working.

Try removing the CPU, taking a picture of the CPU socket, uploading it on imgur, and posting the link here.

i have breadboarded the system before putting back in case. cpu and socket are not damaged. rog asus maxilus x hero. ddr4 i7 9700k cpu nvidia gtx 1060 6gb

Since only 2 slots working, I would check again the socket.

ok i will look again, is there anything i should be looking for. or is it just a case of cleaning and renewing thermal paste?

ok as i lifted the lever on top of the cpu, a handful of pins fell out!!!!!!!!!!!! so definetely a new motherboard. the question is do i need a new cpu also.

Hard to say. Probably not. Check the CPU for burned spots.
