So I replaced my motherboard with the same model, and everything else connected besides my CPU heatsink is the same. But when I boot up my system I get the bios flash and then nothing for about 2 minutes and then screen turns black. What do I do I tried connecting usb with Windows on it but I can't go into boot options or bios settings. Edit: forgot to add that a CPU socket pin was bent and I straightened it out the best I could and my specs are
Motherboard: gigabyte h77-ds3h
Cpu: i5-3570 non-k
Ram: 2x4gb corsair vengeance
Video card: gigabyte gtx 1060
Psu: nzxt hale82-650-m
Hdd- wd green 3tb

My best bet is that the CPU socket bent pin is the reason why your MoBo doesn't work. In most cases, even if you bend the bent pin back, the MoBo still won't work. Though, there have been rare instances when MoBo has worked after bending the CPU pin back but those are rare.

You'd be best off replacing your MoBo.
