MB CPU Connectors causing Voltage Problem

Pisein · January 23, 2015

Hello, I want people that have more experience than me(what it's not hard to have) to give me some light. I have my system being shut down after 5 minutes of use, when I start again the bios say that the system shut down preventing a PSU failure. In the MB info what it's unusual it's the 5v of the CPU(pic):

I tested with another PSU and the same happen. After a check on cables I put the CPU aside and took a look at the CPU Connectors of the MB.Saw some pins that it's not straight like others(pic):

It's this the problem? A new MB? Just want info before buying a new MB. Thanks

PS:Bad English sorry

There's a chance of bending them back. That's what i did on mine.
But if that fails then you need to get a new one.

Regardless, you can definitely get another motherboard if you have bent pins. If you're feeling adventurous, you can attempt to unbend them yourself, but it's best to just RMA the board to ASUS.
