Want this to be simple.

Bought parts last year December and made PC. No issues until June where GPU got fried. It was a GTX 1070 from EVGA. RMA was opened and I got a new one and it works fine. Today, I was annoyed by the fact my cooler was not installed properly after trying to remove it a month ago. So I reinstalled the cooler properly using videos and manuals and was happy. Boot up my computer and infinite boot loop. I knew instantly it was the ram because this has happened before. How was it fixed before? Well I just switched the locations of the ram sticks and it worked in the first two slots. Now I tried every combination possible with two sticks, plus I tried using one stick in all slots and still invite boot loop. I also tried the other stick. Now I thought it was the GPU since my last GPU got fried. So I removed it and than tried rebooting the PC with the ram sticks, still infinite boot loop. Now I know 100% it's the ram sticks. I also tried removing the CMOS battery and putting it back in, not work either. So what should I do? Buy new ram sticks? Help

If you're going to attempt lifting the mobo pins, why not clean the contact pads on CPU first with alcohol and microfiber and maybe also the mobo socket (like a soft toothbrush and alcohol, brushing lightly with the grain of the pins)? I find it easier for debris to cause no contact than for the pins to be bent from just replacing CPU, unless you feel there's a chance they got bent due to something else happening during replacement
