Final Revision - New Build

Sorry for so many questions in one day but I've just noticed my USB 3.0 socket on the motherboard has a bent pin and I have absolutely no idea what that means. Does it mean I can't have USB 3.0?

ps: I fixed the SSD.
 
How bent is it?

I have heard of people using a pen (retractable ball point) and getting the end of the pin into the hole and straightening.

Or needle nose pliers?

Or a small technicians screwdriver?

Apologies for the poor iPhone picture quality.
 
Manged to fix the bent pin but now I have another problem (-_-). Nothing is showing up on my monitor when I'm turning it on. No splash/BIOs screen at all.

Do you have both power cables in the GFX card?

Have you connected the monitor to the card?

Yeah I have both power cables connected to the card and I have tried to connect the HDMI to the video card but it ended up with the same results.

I've reinstalled the HSF and double checked the CPU. Tried it with 1 RAM stick, it all ends with the same results :(

The lights on the motherboard are on, fans etc yet I can't for the life of me figure out why it won't POST.

Have you got the 8pin ATX plugged in near the CPU socket?

Try a clearcMOS

Yeah I have the 8pin connected to the pins/socket near the CPU.

edit: Okay, I've moved it to the 2nd and 3rd pin - now it won't even turn on :s

To clearCMOS you need to power off, move the jumper/short the jumper or remove the battery, replace, power ON.

Did it. Still not working, going to try breadboard it but if that doesn't work then I guess I'm going to have to RMA the mobo/cpu.
 
Ok, just finished breadboarding and I've just noticed the DRAM light is solid red - does this mean the RAM is faulty? I've tried both sticks, even just 1 of them each time.
