Debug LED on motherboard says Cpu, pc won’t boot at all

specs: 

i7-8700k

Z390-Gaming pro carbon 

64Gb tridentZ

aorus 360mm aio 

sandisk 240 gb ssd (2)

no GPU, using onboard for now 

 

Issue:

when I power on the system, the EZdebug led immediately flashes to cpu, and stays there the whole time. I don’t know what’s wrong, i don’t get a boot onto a monitor. If someone could help that would be great thanks.

 

(8700k & board were bought used and I didn’t test them)

Clear the cmos. 

Re seat the cpu. 

Try with one stick at a time. ( Though that's highly unlikely to fix it).

Edit. 

Inspect the socket for any bent pins.

Well you're testing now and looks like you bought broken hardware.

 

You can try the stuff Tofu suggested. Beyond that, you bought broken hardware.

Yeah none of it worked. I double checked and I see what I think are bent Pins on the board , any fix for those or is it a lost cause

Did you remove the CPU socket cover, prior to installing the CPU?

Which pins 'appear' bent...?

No CPU socket cover... when bought.

After an hour of poking and prodding, I’ve done my best to bend all the pins back to original cond. are there going to be problems or do the pins look good @Eighjan
