Previously used dual channel RAM (A2 and B2) before adding the new GPU. Verified CPU pins and heatsink connections. Updated BIOS and reset again, enabled XMP profile. The system boots with RAM in B1/B2 but not in A1/A2. Also upgraded PSU from 650W to 1000W for the new GPU. I'm struggling to figure out what to do now, it worked before with my old GPU.

I recently upgraded my PSU from 650 to 1000 watts.
Wattage isn't the only factor to consider when choosing a PSU; it's essential to invest in a high-quality unit. To verify the information you've mentioned, we need to confirm the make and model of your PSU to assess its reliability.
Moved thread from Memory section to Systems section.
The LGA1700 socket pins are very small and delicate. If the CPU was taken out of the socket, it could have caused some pins to be damaged or bent. Please take several high-resolution photos from various angles of the CPU socket and share them here. (Upload to imgur.com and post the link)
