MSI Z170A Xpower titanium system won't start

[Avery15]

I've got an MSI Z170A Xpower titanium with an i7 6700K processor, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, a SS disc and no graphics card yet. Since the i7 has internal graphics, I thought I could get by without one until I save up some money. I do not see anything on my HDMI monitor after I power the system on. Any suggestions for how to get it running? I'm 15 and this is my first build.

What code getting when starting the board?

If removing all RAMs and starting the board, what is the code (the final one)?

 

[Avery15]

code is E0

 

[alexoiu]

What CPU cooler using, and what header is it connected to?

Intel Cooler:
CNDP536K20

Can you post a picture of the board?

 

[Avery15]

i don't know how to post pictures

 

[alexoiu]

Upload it to a site like flickr, photobucket... and then post the link here.

Here is the link for the picture of the mobo:

Try removing all cables but power switch, 24 and 8 pin power cables. Start the board and see what code getting.

 

[Avery15]

OK. That will take some time. We've removed the mobo from the case and removed the CPU. There are some pins that look bent. We are repairing them now.

We will try your test after we bend the pins back. What codes would you expect to see?

thanks for all your help.

53 or 55. I suggest RMA-ing the board, even if succeeding to straighten the pins.
