I have two 4GB Kingston 1600Mhz DDR3 RAMs. So whenever i try to put my rams into the socket A1 and A2...my PC won't start that it would just keeps turning itself off and on. I've tried to put them separately but no luck.

The PC would start if i put the rams into the socket B1 and B2 without no problem but that's an issue for me because i really want to do a dual channel. I've tried everything swapped with one another tried to put them in A1 and B1...i've tried A2 and B2. Whenever a ram gets into the slots A the PC won't start.

Today i've looked at the mobo and noticed that the two little pins that are on the rear side of the mobo is bent. It is parallel to the DIMM sockets. So without any help i've tried to bend it back delicately with success but the problem persists. What should i do guys? The warrenty is already ended. Do i really need dual channel? or should i just suck it up and use the single channel with upgraded RAMs.

You can see it on this image.

Okay guys i've openned up the case and looked inside the CPU socket and there it is one pin got actually broken, i don't why that happened.

So here is the question, if so i fix the pin will the DIMM sockets work or maybe there's an another problem.

BTW how do you fix an broken pin it's a LGA 1150 socket.

Here is the broken pin picture.

UPDATE: I've found this page and looked through which ball pins are what and found out that the broken pin that i've got is listed as SA_DQ45 and it seems like it's not a ground pin.
