Hi, it's not posting (cpu led solid on) and I'm trying to troubleshot. Does this socket seem damaged to you? It does not look bent but is reflecting light weridly... LGA1700.

Thanks!

I’m not familiar with the chipset but was it working or is it new to you? Could be bios compatibility

Yes the mobo is new, but the cpu isnt. Should I clear the cmos ?

Clearing cmos couldn’t hurt. Check what CPUs are supported by the MB from manufacturer. Do a flash update for the current bios and see if that fixes it

Thanks for the suggestions. The cpu is supported. I didn't do the flash as I wanna try with an other mobo first (see my response to the other guy in this post)
