New Build turning on and off

Does your motherboard have an onboard Power button? Could try that just incase your case power button/reset switch wiring has an issue.

Just noticed that a few pins on the motherboard are slightly bent. The ones that the CPU sit on top off, this could be the problem :confused:

I will have to return it to the supplier I think

OOpppss

I really feel for you...
If you have bent pins, I suggest trying to straighten these back into position...
as no motherboard manufacturer covers this type of damage...
You'll need
1. A lot of patience
2. a steady hand
3. good magnifying glass and
4. a sewing needle
Then grab a cuppa and watch some few videos on YouTube on how to proceed.

These are the tools I used to revive an Asus Z77 Deluxe which sustained similar damage and was exhibiting exactly the same symptoms as your motherboard after the processor slipped from my fingers and feel into the socket during a routine clean up.
It was worth the effort as two years after, the same motherboard is still fully operational as if nothing ever happened...

I tested the PSU.

After searching on the net a lot of people have had the same problem with the motherboard looping on and off

Did any of them offer any solutions ?

Also if you have bend pins you might struggle with the RMA as its a mechanical damage and hardly provable...but yes as the post above suggest you might be able to straighten them up...GL with that...
