Your motherboard setup is showing inconsistent behavior across different components. The CPU lights stay on after reseeding, suggesting a possible hardware issue or faulty installation. The RAM lights remain active even after reseeding, which could indicate a faulty RAM module or a problem with the memory controller. Only the A1 and A2 slots are functioning properly, while the other slots are unresponsive. The cooler mount removal didn’t resolve the issue, possibly pointing to pressure or alignment concerns. Consider testing all components individually and ensuring proper connections before deciding on a replacement.

Use compressed air to blow out the ram slots and CPU slot.

Sure, that sounds like the final stage. Just make sure to follow the proper disassembly and cleaning steps.

It seems the CPU socket might be faulty. The only solution left appears to be purchasing a replacement.
