PC wont boot

[lottie]

I just built my first pc. When i opened the CPU (AMD R5 3600) there were bent pins. i bent them back into place until it could be dropped into the AM4 slot. Finished the build and Motherboard, CPU cooler and fans light up, fans on GPU are spinning but RAM doesn't light up and no video output. Is this a dead CPU or something else?

 

I dont have any parts to swap either.

If the Cpu was "new" not new used.... you should have returned it straight away.

So that's your first plan of attack. Warranty the Cpu. If any pins are slightly bent, dirty, ect.... The board may not post.

 

If this was a used purchase, return it for your money.

I didn't buy it my uncle did new. If is it the CPU would it still allow everything else to light up etc?

Yes. Like I said any one single pin with bad or no contact will result in no post. Also with bent pins, the cpu was not handled with care. 

 

Since the cpu was opened with damage, thats the first suspect of hardware that failed.
