I bought and i7-8700k and a z370XP SLI motherboard and it says the CPU is not working properly. Everything else is working and the lights stay on and then flicker off and back on for a second. The on board troubleshooter says that the CPU isn’t working properly. Anyone know if I could have bent a pin if that is possible or what the problem is? I’d like to add that the screens won’t turn on of my monitors and I haven’t downloaded any drivers but shouldn’t need to get into bios.

EDIT: I bent my motherboard pins and it’s broken and I have no money to fix it.
 
Solution
You really should have contacted the MOBO support number if that was the case. Since it was brand new they would have replaced it no problem, but since you caused the damage unless you lie there's no chance they will now.
