The only real problem is that it is not posting, I dont understand what you mean by the backplate, it is LGA 2011 and there is no backplate. I am going to try get it replaced. If it is not the CPU, then I will try to elliminate the errors.
Thanks so far for the help

Yea, I had never looked that hard at the LGA 2011 sockets. Some time's I get so used to suggesting the usual suspects, lol. It almost looks like a char mark or something similar.
