Hi everyone,
i have built this new system with spec below:

4770K
Maximus VI Formula
4*8GB GSKILL
780 watt Power
Samsung SSD 840Pro 128GB

after trying to boot up the system the RED LED for CPU is on and PC wont Post :(

I've checked all the power connections and all the other equipments are working.

I've delidded the CPU myself, but before doing it i've tried the cpu but there was the same result and i thought its maybe because i haven't put on the waterblock yet :-? i didnt see the red light as its behind a set of cords and not that visible so im not sure if it was on before delidding proccess or not.

i tried updating the bios using flashback feature on ASUS Motherboards and still no chance :(

another thing to mention, when i was tightening one of the Waterblock screws i used a piler and accidentally hit a capacitor and it bent a little so i moved back up again, it was became a little looser than the others but not that much to say its gonna fall off.

Any Ideas on what to do ?! unfortunately i do not have access to another CPU to check :(

Thank you in advance for any comment ;)

there is no Beeps and also i checked the CPU and its getting warm after few seconds after turning on the PC, is this a good sign for to be sure that CPU is not dead ?!

yes i read,
i havent plugged in a fan but i did just after your comment and still no luck :(

the CPU itself is warmer than the backup of CPU socket so i can be sure its the CPU producing heat and not the mother board.

Are you sure that everything is connected? If you don't hear the beep of the booting process then something isn't connected right or a component isn't compatible. If the CPU is getting warmer then that means that it is getting powered and it most likely is OK.

Yes im certain its the CPU_fan header, i double checked with the motherboard manual.

as CPU is producing heat doesnt it mean its Okay ?!

does it have something with that CAP ?!

i removed the RAMS and the only red LED was the one for CPU.

Does it have something to do with that CAP i accidentally hit ?!

Thank you everyone for your Comments, it turns out there was few wiggled Pins on the CPU Socket, so i straightened them and after few tries, it worked !!!

Thank you :)
