lil tricky problem

I wanted to try using my previous setup with the (B150M bazooka plus) and an i5 6400k CPU. The power supply was a good 650W from Nox, along with two 8GB RAM sticks from Ripjaws Corsair. After disconnecting everything, I reconnected it and everything seemed to work properly when using HDMI for testing the integrated graphics. It functioned well during gameplay.

However, when I switched to an i7 6700k CPU, it worked without any issues. But when I tried the i5 again, things got unstable—it kept flashing a red light and showing CPU missing from the motherboard. I just had to accept that and use the i5 for a short period.

Looking back, the i5 setup was stable, but the i7 caused serious problems. If you need more information, I’m happy to provide it and appreciate any help you can offer. <3

The pins on the motherboard appear normal, but you might notice some bent pins or traces of thermal paste if they've been handled improperly.

Thanks for your update!
Just double-checked again from two days ago. The red light shows a different pattern now.
DRAM remains active and shuts off briefly under the CPU flash cycle, repeating this behavior.
What’s happening here?

It seems like I shifted a bit of data inside micro, but moved back carefully. Now that only one stick of RAM remains on the 4th slot, it returns to the issue mentioned first. Adding more RAM would align with what I discussed in my previous post.><
Any help is well welcome
