Hi jimmy1228, 

About a picture, I do not view a major problem.
If you have any doubt about any of the photos.

We say. You see the socket better than us. Anyway, Dark Mantis check again too later.

About CPU and HeatSink:

You have a standard heatsink like this: http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Intel-Sandy-Bridge-Review-Core-i7-2600K-and-Core-i5-2500K-25.jpg
or
Intel tower cooler like this : http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/Intel-Sandy-Bridge-Review-Core-i7-2600K-and-Core-i5-2500K-24.jpg

standard heatsink

[jimmy1228]

got it to boot
flashed my bios to f7
now i got more lights than a christmas tree

[Dark Mantis]

The lights should all show at first and then go out one by one as POST progresses. Is it all working now.?

 The bits on show of the socket looked fine. Maybe it just needed reseating properly.

[jimmy1228]

okay no i used a different processor and thats not the problem what else could be causing this

[MiiCK]

So you used a different processor and it worked? But with your chip it doesn't?

I'd make sure the fan and heatsink is correctly seated onto the cpu with some fresh thermal paste.

You say the GPU fan isn't spinning at all? Remove it from your board and use standard vga port and intel hd 3000 graphics.

Have you got the 8pin connector plugged into your motherboard as well as the 24pin connector?

Put the motherboard, cpu heatsink and fan, hdd onto a cardboard box and try booting, might be shorting on the case.

Try using one stick of ram in slot #1, if it doesn't work, use another ram slot, or another ram stick.

Remove all non necessary parts like gpu, dvd drive etc.

Can you explain more about using a different CPU please ?

You won't be able to use onboard graphics on a P67 as there aren't any. It was only the H67 that had the graphics capability.

put a different i7 chip in i am guessing its the psu if i leave the system running for 2 hours or more the next day it will not post if i then turn off the psu overnite it boots fine.  seems to me like something in the psu itself is failing when the system runs for a while then by removing the power to the psu for a period of time it all works just fine.

the psu and the ram are the only things i haven't swapped out so im thinking of going to the local microcenter and picking up a corsair cx600 (theyre on sale and im not rich) just to try it out easy to return if thats not the problem.   

[Dark Mantis]

Yes a good idea, especially if you can return it if it fails to be the base of the problem.

Good luck and a Happy New Year to you.

[jimmy1228]

thanx same to you

Hi jimmy1228, 

I also wish you a happy new year 2012 and good luck with your hardware.

Be sure to ventilate your computer and remove dust.

Apologies, forgot he had a p67!

[jimmy1228]

seems like the psu was the problem replaced the coolmax with a corsair and all is working now even after letting my machine run for a while it boots fine

Hi jimmy1228, 

Pfiew , it must be good for you and your hardware.

If you need, come again here, for comments.
