Ever since I built my pc my RAM slots 1 and 2 haven't worked aka my RAM is running single channel in slot 3 and 4 which obviously sucks. Now I've realized I have no clue whether it's just my MoBo that needs to be replaced or it's my CPU not recognizing those 2 slots. Is there any whay to find out because I don't have an extra MoBo or CPU to test it that way. Edit: I went to task manager and it does say 2 of 4 slots in use, so I'm assuming this means my cpu does recognize all 4 slots and it is therefore definitely just the MoBo I need to replace.
