Well as the title says, I built my own computer for the first time, and everything works, except nothing shows on monitors and the EZ debug menu indicates a problem with the CPU. The CPU fan runs and is plugged into CPUFAN1, the processor is put in correctly I believe, the 2 four by 2 pins are connected into the right spot, the big ole 20 pin one is plugged in, the speaker is plugged in too, as well as the 8 little pins are plugged in. Any ideas as what it might be?

It is too easy to damage the cpu socket pins if you do not drop the cpu straight in.
If you smoosh the cpu around to get it to seat better you will likely damage one.
Take the cpu out and examine the pins carefully.
If you see one that looks askew, try to straighten it out.
Damaged pins are considered user error and your only option is to repair the socket or buy a new motherboard.
I had one repaired by gigabyte at a cost of $50 and a month wait.
