My CPU doesn't work

So recently I bought all of my components for my first PC and when it all arrived I started to assemble it. When I was done and tried to boot up for the first time and nothing happened, I thought it just takes Ryzen a bit longer to boot because I heard in one video that Ryzen for the first time booting takes longer. Then after waiting about one hour, I restarted the system and nothing again. After that, I brought my PC to one of my older friends who is good with computers and he tried to boot it up and it didn't work. He called me and said that there is a problem with my CPU and that he is going to re-install it. He also told me that in his 25 years of work he never encountered that CPU is shipped broken. So now I am wondering if it is broken what can I do?

Thank you in advance.

Are you sure it's not the motherboard (much more likely than CPU)?

 

Did you try basic POST troubleshooting:

-Clear the CMOS

-Boot with only 1 RAM stick installed, try each stick to make sure it's not a bad stick

-Try the RAM in each DIMM slot to be sure it's not a bad slot

-Try a different GPU or monitor to be sure it's not just a display issue

 

Is there a "spkr" attached (not computer speakers but a simple speaker that plug into the pins where the power button and LEDs plug in)? Some cases have one and some don't, if yours doesn't then grab one for diag purposes (they're like $5 or less) and listen for error codes on boot up. Refer to your motherboard manual to find out what the error codes mean.

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.
