Hi! I really appreciate that you've taken the time to read this. I'm fairly desperate at this point, I've poured more money into new hardware than I'd normally spend in a year and I haven't gotten so much as a boot screen. I'm afraid I bent the CPU pins but I can't even get the Intel heatsink off my board, the clips are stuck. I'm in way over my head, if anything I'd really just appreciate it if someone can point me to some good professionals to help me salvage what components I haven't already damaged. Please, if you could possibly offer any advice I'd be eternally grateful. Thank you so much.
 
Did you assemble the system? Some clear close-up pics of the motherboard might help forum members troubleshoot it.
 
Okay, I took some photos. The cable jungle is too thick for it to be much good though. I think I just won't touch anything and take Matt's advice, I feel like I can only do damage at this point. Thank you for your help guys, I really appreciate it.
