yeah the tip is bent back in on itself,gonna be hard to straighten without it snapping off
magnifying glass and a fine sewing needle might fix it,or id just rma again,gigabyte will accept rma for bent pins though
that's your issue for sure

Aye, getting really frustrated now.
This means I'm going to be waiting another week for a replacement, and after this weekend, I'll rarely be coming home. I was hoping to take the new system with me.
I paid the best part of £700 (more than, if you include the PSU I needlessly bought, just in case it was a PSU problem), have already gone through the hassle of arranging returns, driving to the UPS Access Point to send the faulty board back, and making sure there would be somebody home for the replacement to be delivered. More than two weeks after placing the order, I still haven't got a working system.

I feel a bit guilty about recommending a psu,you should have returned it for a refund

just stick with it,you'll soon be up and running
Thanks Wazza 
With the way my luck's been, when it comes to the motherboard, I'm going to have to pick it up at a bricks and mortar place. I can't afford to spend more time sending stuff back and to. At least this way, I can exchange it on the day if my luck continues

I bought another motherboard today (stuck with the Z87 D3HP) and so far, so good!
Haven't built the whole system yet, but the dreaded problems getting into the BIOS and constant system restarts, aren't an issue anymore, and RAM is working in all 4 slots.
3rd time lucky? I hope so!

Glad to hear it.

Was that half pin not on the cpu? If so, I'm surprised all is well on a different motherboard!
Maybe things have moved on since my 2007 system and the pins are on the motherboard socket.
