I just put a new intel dp67bg motherboard and noctua nh-d14 cpu cooler in my rig. One of the prongs was bent a little but I bent it back and the cpu dropped in just fine. I5-2400 1155 socket, I had to push down real hard when I tightened down the cooler but it seemed to be on fine. It's also touching the ram that was the only way I could make it work.

It turns on for a few seconds, the memory led goes solid but cpu led keeps blinking and the I get the 1c error code which is the PEI thing according to the manual and then it shuts off. Any ideas?

So it's probably that one bent prong then? I'll try it back in the old motherboard. Such a hassle.

It was the motherboard for me. I put in the old motherboard and old stock cooler and everything works fine now, although I do still have weird problems with inaccessible boot device and the computer not starting and other random stuff that never happened before this mess. Conclusion: Never buy a used motherboard or processor
