CPU fails to boot

[caseylake20]

When I turn on the power, the VRAM light will flash a few times, move to the CPU, flash once or twice, then back to the VRAM. It will then shutdown and re-attempt the boot process.

I tried replacing the motherboard, it had one small pin bent, it still won't boot.

I've tried it with no other hardware, RAM, Video Card.

Here is my PC, any help would be great!

If the old board had bent pin, there is possibility it shorted CPU. This is new equipment? Then replacing CPU is next logical step, but you could try different RAM sticks first (or at least try one stick at a time) to rule out memory issue. I'm not sure but you did try without video card (with monitor connected to motherboard)?

I did try without the video card, by pluging my monitor straight into my video card.

I think replacing the CPU is the next logical step.

If that doesn't work, then I think it may be something with my power supply.

I wasn't sure how common it is to have a CPU get shorted out, from what I've read, they are pretty resilient.
