I have an Asus Maximus V GENE motherboard that had bent pins and I tried fixing it best I could, and then I used an Intel Celeron G530 CPU that was LGA 1155 to test it, when I connected the PSU and then pushed the start button on the motherboard, the motherboard only made like 3 beep sounds continuously in that rhythm (it would beep 3 times, wait like 1 second then beep 3 times again, and so on until I turned it off). It also shows qcode 22 and I tried looking up that in the motherboard manual but 22 isn't listed in the manual.

Does this mean I did not fix the pins good enough or what? I know the CPU is good cause I just bought it cheap brand new for testing purposes. I also placed in 2 RAM sticks and also tried taking both out and it still did the same thing.



Anyone know what's going on?
