Ok this is gonna kill ya LOL but I want you to now disconnect your power from the wall and I want you to remove the heatsink fan from your CPU and then remove the CPU (carefully) from the socket and with a strong light and magnifying glass check the socket for bent or misaligned socket pins!

Thats how they look! Its kinda hard to tell but with a led light and magnifying glass I can see it. The best way to see it is to compare it to the straight side, from different angles!

 I had no problem installing the processer, I did do it on the kitchen table top and then installing in the case. Don't know if I did it , someone else did it, or it came that way! I didn't notice it when I installed it.

Pretty hard to tell from those pics.............But as far as I could tell looks ok. Did you buy all these parts from a local store? You could have a faulty board, if you bought it locally take it (board) and ask for another. Then try again.
