Hey guys,

I got a slight problem with my motherboard.
I assembled all the components to the motherboard, set up all the wiring!
After I boot it the Cpu light stays lit and the hold board shuts down after 5 seconds or so.
I have no idea what the problem could be, because i have used all the proper precaution
while assembling the kit.
Perhaps someone could help out!

My system setup is:

P8Z77-v-pro
i3 2120
Kingston hyperx ( 2x2 )
MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Seagate 3.5 inch 500GB Hard Drive
Asus DRW-24B3ST dvd drive
750w psu

I think thats the main list what is important.

O NOT play with the pins. They're not supposed to be pointing straight up. They should be at a slight angle. They "spring" against the bottom of the CPU, not point straight at it. Whatever you do, DO NOT manipulate the pins. If they're all uniform and pointing at the same angle, they're fine. If any look like they're not uniform, then don't install the CPU.

i found this quote from someone, is that true? because i checked my socket an they are in a slight angle! just confirm this please my mind racing 180mph because i am afraid i screwed up :(((((((((((
