Hi there, I am new to this site.. so please excuse me lol.
I recently purchased parts to build my first pc from scratch and put everything together. Though when i went to turn the unit on it booted for a second or two, fans, cpu fan and LEDs lit up then died on me. I emailed the supplier and they said I had an older cpu (intel Kaby lake) and that the intel coffee lake was the one compatible. I’m wondering if I could have damaged the motherboard (msi z370 m5)? iv had a look at the pins on board for the processor and they all sit at a slight angle which iv read is right? So I’m thinking of sending the cpu back and updating it or is there more to this issue?
