I know it may sound straight up idiotic, but check your cpu power cord. The other day I was messing around with some old Radeon HD5450 in my build, as well as my r7 240 and was about to throw it out the window from frustration. I was also booting windows 10, and couldn't figure out why it would start, but NOT turn off. I check all my cables, and here I had left the poor cpu power cord on the power supply, it was curled up like the binding of Isaac pose and weeping all over the PC! So like I said, just check the cord lol.

Haha! I did the same thing on my first build a few weeks ago. I forgot to connect CPU power. I have figured out that on this build my motherboard RAM slot is faulty. If I remove one stick of RAM from slot 2, it works fine. I know it isn't the RAM itself because both ram sticks work in slot 1, and both ram sticks don't work in slot 2.

^that RAM issue is VERY indicative of bent CPU pins. Take the CPU out and look to see if any of the motherboard pins are borked.

Seriously? If they are bent it probably ruined my CPU too... This is just great.

tiny voices · May 28, 2015

No, bent pins would not damage the CPU more than likely.

tiny voices :

Unless every pin is bent, they aren't bent, they all appear to be bending in towards the middle. I think this is regular, because they are all bent at the same angle. I am not even sure if they are bent, it might just be light reflecting off of them.

tiny voices · May 28, 2015

The light will reflect differently off of a bent pin. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae18/XBOXisBEST/cpu_pin.png

They are hard to spot

GetOwnedGaming · May 28, 2015

Yeah, they aren't bent at all.
