1| When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. List them like so:
CPU: FX-6300
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS: Windows 10


2| Have you made sure your motherboard BIOS is up to date?

3| While installing the CPU onto the motherboard, did you make sure that no pins were bent?
 


 
Added specs above, Yes BIOS is the latest, I did remove the CPU to check pins, before that the CPU had not been removed from the MB since I originally built it. Has been stored in an anti static bag in the original MB box.
