It will only boot up with a ram stick only in the first slot, both sticks work, but even if i try boot with 1 stick in the second slot, it still wont work. What would be causing the problem here?

Yeah if it's bent you can fix it yourself but be VERY careful since if you mess up then you might make your motherboard unusable. If you decide to take the risk then I reccomend a flathead precision screwdriver and try to look around and figure out how the pin is bent before you start poking it

I took off the cpu fan, took out the cpu, and in the cpu socket theres 1 pin that just looks different, like I just notice it every time i look, is this a bent pin? if so, what would have caused this? and can i fix it myself? thanks.

A magnifying glass would help.
