Having a very annoying issue, my cpu fan spins up, my psu fan starts to spin up but then my red cpu error light come on, this is my 2nd mobo, and my 2nd cpu, my parts are

Ram: hyper x fury ddr4

Cpu: i5 6500

Mobo MSI pcmate z170a

PSU corsair cx600m

I will atache a picture of how my lga socket looks because all of the pins look to be bent in the same drection, I am almost positive that I installed my CPU right, lined up the arrors and all? post-270820-0-08767800-1445897192_thumb.

could be incompatible cpu and you might need to update the bios.

EDIT: try this https://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user/support/techfaqdetail.aspx?formid=3046 (try this with the newest bios on the usb)

EDIT2: if you're trying the method I showed you, please use a graphics card

You could try removing all but one stick of ram (the remaining stick of ram should be in the slot closest to the CPU) then turn the PC on.

Also, make sure you have the CPU power correctly plugged in.

You've clearly bent 3 pins.

Very very carefully straighten them out using a very small flatheaded screwdriver, if you break one it's a dead board.

Get a motherboard speaker as it will tell you what the problem could be.

I would say remove the ram and try to boot to see if it will give you a new error (the RAM LED should light up) . If it does then that shows the motherboard is at least trying to boot rather than it being bricked.

 

Put the ram back in, but in slots not used before and try again.

It's not a race to the bottom.

The ram is right, I checked the manual, the CPU is plugged in well, but the 24 pin won't click well no matter how much fource I put on it

did you plug in the CPU power? it's the 8 pin near the top of the rear IO, not the 24 pin.

The 24 pin is not the issue here.

Also, the ram could be fine but the BIOS will want to start with only one stick of RAM.

Like i said the cpu (8pin) is plugged in fine, i can try with one stick later today but I doubt that it will help
