Could damaged CPU cause boot loop?

[peeballs90]

So basically Ive just got a brand new mobo and power supply because my PC wasnt turning on, and I got a CPU from a friend that fits the AM4 chipset (specifically a 1700x I think) and when my friend placed it into the box it was facing straight down and still on the cooler LOLL I tried to use it in my PC and now its stuck in boot loop. Could it be the CPU or is it something sketchy with all the new parts? Pics attached of full build and the CPU pins

Looks fine to me.

Try reseating your RAM.

Ive done that and moved ram to all different dimm slots, Ive also reseated the GPU and tried disconnecting everything but CPU and PSU... still same issue

Disconnect everything not essential for boot, so disconnect storage drives, front panel connections, etc.

Not sure then, sorry

Can you test the 1700X in a confirmed working build?

no I dont think so  I can try using my old CPU mobo combo and see if the new power supply fixed the old issue? I might have 2 dead cpus on my hands tho
