Boot issues

So I'm building with a msi z370 a-pro mobo, an i5 8600k, msi 1070 ti, with 8 gigs of ddr4, and a 500w psu. My cpu looks fine and is seated properly. All cables are connected in their correct spots. However, when I power on the system the ez debug led of the mobo flashes once indicating that my cpu isn't being detected. I've checked the cpu to make sure no pins were bent/broken and it doesn't look like it's been fried in fact it looks like it did fresh out the box. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be? Could it be a psu issue? The psu calculator says it takes around 468w and recommends a 600w psu.

Are you able to get into the BIOS or no?

 

If your board has a dual BIOS switch try flipping it, you might have a corrupted BIOS.

 

It's also possible your CPU is dead, they rarely show outward signs of damage when killed.

looking on toms hardware a similar issue was discussed - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3599516/debug-cpu-led-flashes-white-shuts.html

It seems that in there case the PSU was the issue 

(does the PSU calculator account for the GPU, if so try booting up without the GPU installed to lower the power required to see if it is the PSU)

Nah nothing happens other than the led flash. Idk if it has a dual bios switch or not, I'd have to check.

I've tried booting with just the cpu and fan installed and its the same thing.

 

How often do cpu's come DOA fresh out the box though

It's very rare but it does happen sometimes, it's more likely that your board has a fault than the CPU. You wouldn't happen to have another CPU lying around to try in it would you?

I don't, this is my first build so I don't have any known good parts to test.
