Its_An_Outrage!

I only have a Dell Optiplex 3020 with a 4th gen i5 in it so I doubt the 6th gen would he compatible.

There doesnt appear to be any bent pins to the naked eye I checked every time I repeated the CPU. A magnifying glass would be helpful.

It has Intel HD Graphics 530

Not in the pic but it was during all trials that included the GPU.

Finished building my PC and it turns on (including fans and lights) and stays on consistantly but does not display any video output on either my TV or monitor via HDMI. I apologize if I have missed anything important or formatted this badly and I appreciate any solid advice you people can give me... feel free to ask questions but please read through before asking something already stated. Note that all my parts are verified as compatible by PCPartPicker.

After each trial I disconnected the power and drained the capacitors using the power button. When each of the 2 RAM slots are filled their respective light is on (indicates RAM modules are installed -mobo manual). On every trial the 'DRAM' EZdebug LED is on. The 'CPU' EZdebug LED was on during first few trials but after cleaning the CPU it does not come on. There are no sounds from the mobo although I'm not sure it has a speaker. I've tried using a DVI-D to HDMI adapter instead of hdmi to hdmi (I have no other cables adapters to try). I used a jumper cap to manually reset the CMOS. I have no spare compatible parts to try and don't wish to spend out on parts that wont guarantee a fix. I have considered a dead mobo being the problem but again I don't want to spend out on part that wont guarantee a fix. At this stage I am at a loss and am debating taking to a repair shop but I'd rather fix it myself as I built it myself.
