Are these bent socket 1150 pins?

My rebuild keeps turning off when I try to boot it up. I've looked through the guide: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems and I can't seem to find where I've went wrong. Everything seem plugged in properly.

I'm paranoid about the pins though, have been so ever since I found out how easy it is to break them as it's my first time replacing my motherboard and cpu cooler.

Can someone tell if I've * the pins up from these pics?

Sorry if they're too blurry all I've got is a point and shoot. I'll upload some more if necessary.

Did a reseat of the cpu cooler and reapplication of the thermal paste. Also switched some fan headers. When I tried to boot it doesn't even turn on now.

Dunno what to do. I don't think it's bent socket pins anymore cos the socket looks the same as the one I replaced.

Well, something is not connected right.

Its not bend socket pins. It is hardware related problem. Manufacturing defects maybe? If it doesnt even power on, it has problem with power. Check your power supply. Also, Clean your ram contacts to clear any dirt messing with hardware.

What can I do about my PSU? I don't have a spare I can test with. It was working before I replaced my mobo.

When I last tried to turn my PC on again this time the power light came on and the fan started but then I heard the PSU(?) click and it turned off. And it wouldn't respond to me pressing the power button again.

Maybe something to do with the wires? My prebuilt had all these stupid plastic cable ties that are a PITA to remove. I did do a little outside damage to the sheath of the 2x4 12v ATX cable.

IDK how to work out which part is at fault. My system rn is only the psu, ssd, 1 ram stick, cpu, dvdrw and fans.

When you say not turning on, that's a very, very broad statement. It would be helpful if you say exactly what's doing. Do fans start or stutter, any motherboard lights, does bios start but not Windows. Is there a switch on the psu maybe? Are all motherboard power connections seated firmly and locked in, is ram sticks installed correctly. Are you positive you installed the cpu correctly according to the slot and triangle?

It's turning on now, but I'm back to the endless rebooting. When I try to turn my PC on it doesn't boot, it just keeps turning off and restarting within two seconds. Fans start, mobo lights come on. No bios, no windows.

IDK what's wrong it all seemed quite simple. ATX/PSU cables are in. cpu cooler and cpu are all fine. io shield is in, ram stick is in right slot, CPU is supported by mobo bios, front panel connectors are correct

My mobo is a Gigabyte Z97X SOC-Force. It has ATX 12v headers for 4pin and 8pin. I was trying to power it with 2x4pin. But I just tried to power it by connecting both the 4 pin and 8pin headers with 2 2x4pin. Still the same problem.

My PSU is a EVGA 750 Supernova g2.

I rebuilt back on my my old mobo to see if it was my mobo or CPU at fault. My PC doesn't reboot any more but it turns on without any display. I have no case speaker so I can't hear any beep codes. Since the CPU doesn't work in either mobo I'm guessing I messed it up somehow?

If so what can I do? I bought it prebuilt so I might not have an Intel warranty and I don't think I'm covered by my retailer's warranty because I removed the heatsink.

Also I haven't reset the CMOS or messed with the battery on either mobo. I didn't think I had to.

I'd reset the cmos. Also check those switches. The white dip switches are to turn on/off memory channels and pcie for extreme overclock stability, you don't need that so turn them on. The 2 black sliders are bios controllers. Read your manual about them and make sure they are set correctly, move them if you have to. One might be not clicked all the way and is screwing with bios loading. Make sure all the other buttons are not depressed, they are for OC and you don't want any of that until you are up and running.

It doesn't take much to have hit one of those by accident when installing fan or power connectors etc. Check everything. Whether you think it's important or not.

So I benchtested the system and it booted to bios. It was mobo, gpu, 1 stick of ram, cpu, cpu cooler and psu. So I'm guessing the problem is a short caused by smth in my Corsair 200r case...

Yippee! Just gotta solve that problem now.

Was just about to say breadboard it...When you put it back in dont overtighten the standoffs and make sure every connection is firmly in place :)

Also...you might want to tape over the sheath you exposed just to be on the safe side.

My case has *EDIT* 7 protruding screwholes, 1 protrusion, and one protruding removable standoff that's been screwed in. And one protrusion that goes inside the mobo. I only have 5 mobo case screws so there's more screwholes than there are screws.

The Gigabyte Z97X-SOC force has 9 screwholes though. Do I need to buy more screws to attach every single one or smth?

Shouldn't need to, just make sure every part of the board is supported well enough. 4 round the outside and one in the middle somewhere maybe. Although - are you saying your case is micro-atx but your board is atx?

Have you got a) the right mobo facia on and b) is it clicked in really tight?

Thats a common cause of shorts so it might be your solution.

If you hand tighten the standoffs so they are a bit looser do you get post?

I've tried loosening the cpu cooler and motherboard screws but no difference.

Could this be causing it? On the back of my mobo the centre screwhole (where the case protrusion goes in) has scratch wear past the circular 6 metal dots and onto the motherboard.

Corsair have agreed to replace my case based on some pics of the standoffs. So I'm probably going to send it off to them if it's the problem.
