Hello, i have a bit of a problem, I had just received some new pc components for a custom pc, when i was installing the cpu the first time I didn't realize that the gold triangle goes at the bottom left corner instead of the top right corner like i had always been used to. I had bent many pins on the socket and sent it in to asus to be repaired, they replaced the socket and i received it n the mail just a few days ago. I had finished putting it together and when i powered it on for the first time the red cpu led lit up and then shut off after about five seconds. I am worried that I had fried the cpu when i tried to start it up with the cpu seated incorrectly, although I checked it for burn marks and the distinguishable odor of a burnt up cpu, but it looked absolutely fine. I have tried to put the ram in different slots, still nothing, reseated the cpu, still nothing. I really need to fix this fast without spending a whole lot of money because if i cant use it then my only option is an imac with an i3 and 4 gigs of ram . Anybody who could give me some troubleshooting would be super, greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
