New pc restart loop

[Kramal6]

Hey there

I just build a PC for my friend using only new parts but the motherboard. The assembly went fine but when i booted it up for the first time it restarted in loops of like 5 sec. I tried to switch the ram sockets, trying with only 1 ram stick but it didn't work. I then tried to reinsert the CPU but i noticed that a pin on the motherboard socket was bent or broken so i figured that might be the problem?

The specs are:

 

Corsair 450d
Corsair CS650M

Corsair vengance 8 gb 1600 mhz ram
gigabyte gtx 780

Gigabyte GA-z87X

Corsaird h100i

i5-4670k

 

 

I'm going back to him tomorrow and test out with my old mobo but any other suggestions? Unfortunately i didn't take a pic

 

thanks!

If a pin is bent/broken that will prevent the CPU from working properly if bent enough so yea. You either need a new motherboard or RMA this one. I recommend MSI Z97 PC MATE if you buy a new one.
