PC won't boot: motherboard or PSU?

michaelglaz · Aug 14, 2016

I had an i5 and just bought an i7. After placing the new CPU my computer powers on for 1 second and then powers off. I tried placing the i5 back in and same thing. The PSU self-test makes the fan run. So what could be the problem?

Have you checked the CPU socket for bent pins?

I tried 2 different CPUs, so it can't be the CPU.

Not the CPU, but the socket on the motherboard.

alexoiu :

Sorry, I thought the pins were on the CPU itself. I can't really tell. I took a picture but I don't think I can upload it here. I have an RMA with ASUS to replace the motherboard in any case.

Try uploading the picture on a site like photobucket and then posting the link here.

Does this work? http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p376/mikeglaz/FGA1151_zps1rilhaco.jpg

Yes, and there seems to be a bent pin (bottom right). Can you locate and straighten it?
