I'm facing an issue where my motherboard only detects one of my two Corsair Vengeance 8GB RAM sticks in the BIOS. I've got an A520M K V2 motherboard paired with an AMD Ryzen 5 4600 CPU and an 8GB Radeon 580 GPU. What steps should I take to troubleshoot this?

Have you tried switching the RAM sticks between the slots? This can help you figure out if one of the slots is dead. If the stick that works in one slot doesn’t work in the other, then you might be dealing with either a faulty memory slot or an issue with your CPU's memory channel.
First off, make sure the RAM sticks are seated properly in their slots. Double-check the motherboard's manual to confirm they are in the right slots. Also, try using just one stick at a time to see if both sticks are detected individually.
It sounds basic, but you might want to give changing the slots another go. It's easy to overlook, and ensuring you're using the correct slots as indicated in the manual is key. Sometimes, it's just that simple!
