CPU won’t work is the retention plate is on. Tested with the metal bar that locks into place off, and the pc boots normally, but if I clamp it down, the pc will turn on for a second, the motherboard debug light comes on, and it turns off
 
Solution
do you have it in the right position and should not work unclip check the cpu base on board and if you dont have any bent pins on the cpu .
