won't boot to bios, or at all?

Hello, I am having trouble with a gaming build. I am using a B85M MSI gaming mbu, GTX 650, Core i5 with one 4 gb 1600MHZ stick of ram. The ATX case is the cooler master HAF. MBU lights up, all fans are on and use ports are okay, but nothing shows up on screen. I have no clue what's happening. Only thing that I think can help is the two lights at the top, the light above the lightning bolt is always solid, while the other one next to it, a cylinder looking thing, is blinking.

I took the card out and put hdmi in mbu. As I said, no post or monitor activity

That was the first of the three questions in my previous post.
Use the buttons on your monitor to bring up a menu and check that HDMI is selected rather than DVI, VGA, DisplayPort, etc.

You wrote before that "I put it in a socket with multiple bent pins", but motherboard sockets don't have pins. If the pins on your processor are bent and not making proper contact your CPU is not going to work.

Yes, there is powerlight in th monitor and it's hdmi only. I am certain it has nothing to do with my displays....is there anyway to troubleshoot the processor to see if that's the issue?

And actually my 1150 socket does have pins, while my i5 processor has a flat side which is placed on the socket

LGA1150 has pins protruding from the CPU and a number of holes in the motherboard socket that line up with these pins.
There is a marker on the top of the CPU to show which way it should be inserted, and the pin layout should prevent it going in the wrong way.
There are alternatives to LGA like BGA, but these are attached to the motherboard in the factory.

I don't mind about the pins or their setups, I just want to know what's wrong with my setup..and whatever is causing the trouble

You are the one that installed this CPU.
If this hasn't been done properly, or if there has been any damage while installing the processor, it is not going to work.
You were holding up a floppy drive power connector in your video and asking if that could be the problem before. It makes me think you haven't done this before.
It is important to get the CPU orientation right as well as the locking mechanism and installation of the CPU cooler. If you made a mistake early on and bent CPU pins, you will have great difficulty fixing these.

he bent the pins why thats in most cases imppossible , but make sure the cpu oriantation is correct and then try it because if that was a pin which was not needed it may still boot up if it was important darn bad luck

A solution to my own thread, either bent cpu pins, dead cpu, or wrong bios version, probably the latter two.
