Hello, I recently got this mb, the previous owner has put the cpu in the socket with the notch on the wrong side, the cpu has 3 missing pins: AL 3, AF 4, AJ 24 despite of this the cpu boots fine but the problem is that something on the mb must have been damaged because if I start the pc with 2 sticks of ram in the same color memory slots it doesn't boot, the post card hangs on d5 d4 post codes, while if I use just one memory slot doesn't matter which the pc boots fine, it boots fine even if I use one yellow slot and one orange slot. The memory is confirmed working, because I tested it on another pc, while the memory installed when I received the pc seems to be fried. I also tried another am2+ cpu and it gives the same issue.
So far my testing showed that memory slot 1 and 3 are working while 2 and 4 aren't.

Is there anything I could do?

Thanks.

I did some further tests with a cpu of mine and this mb.
All the memory installed on the mb when I received it are working, the issue is that 2 of the ddr slots seems they are fried, there is no visible damage on the traces but when memory is installed on the second and forth slots the debug card stucks at d5 d4, if the same memory banks are installed on slot 1 and 3 the mb boots just fine.
I start to feel that there is no way to recover it but any advice is more than welcome 😀
