LGA 1151 + Motherboard Reboots No Video

[WDSteve]

I've now been through 3 processors, 4 motherboards, 2 power supplies.

I've installed MSI Gigabyte and 3 different LGA 1151 i7 Skylake processors with DDR4 memory. I've tried all combinations, different power supplies and nothing works.

No bent pins.
I've tried without memory and with memory.
I've popped CMOS Batteries.
The only constant is the case. I took it out of the case and only used the power switch to power it on.

It boots, the LED's come on no beeps nothing it just reboots and repeats itself. No video.

I've put a video card in and still the same result. I cannot get a combination of 1151 CPU and a 1151 motherboard to work.

Boggling my mind. I thought I had nailed it down to the only thing that was the same throughout the whole adventure was the heat sink. It was pretty tight.

There is an issue with this CPU being cheap and thin - called "Bend gate". I thought that was the issue so I decided to try one more time. I sent back the other Cpu's and motherboards thinking they were the issue.

So finally i just put a heat sink on top without actually popping it in gently and I get the same exact issue.

Anyone have ANY ideas?

1| With threads of troubleshooting nature, it's customary t pass on your full system's specs inclusive of your chassis. It doesn't matter how many you've tried but it's a good idea to list what you've tried it with.

2| Have you tried removing the CMOS battery and replaced it after 15 minutes?

3| We're talking about the stock heatsink right? I can't find anything under "Bend Gate" with respect to CPU's though is this a new build or a pseudo new build with some parts replacing older ones?
