So I have bought many components from OC and I'm pretty happy with them. However, once I got all the ones I needed to build a new PC, I build it and go to boot it up, and it won't POST at all.
My colleague who builds computers came round to troubleshoot and he seems to think the CPU socket pins on the Motherboard (Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero) might be bent, as the GPU (RTX 2070 SUPER) and RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR4) work just as they should. But despite those components working, the PC still will not POST at all.
I am also trying to use the Intel Core i9-9900K CPU, so if the pins aren't bent, then I may just have a dead CPU. I just want to see what the problem is so I can enjoy my new and upgraded PC.
Is anyone here able to help me and see if the pins are bent? I couldn't tell after looking closely and it's hard to see if any are on the pictures I took. (I took these with my work iPhone to try and get decent enough quality).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
