          The issue is that after I placed it in the correct postion,the mother board bios is not posting,the motherboard is new.

          Before you toss the motherboard, make sure your RAM is set correctly (is it seated properly, does it need to be in pairs, is it supported, etc.). Also, make sure a pin isn't bent on the CPU itself. If you build your on computers, it's worth spending $10 on a PSU tester. And, test the PSU to make sure it supplies enough power to the CPU, etc. and that all cables are where they need to go (P4s use two sources of power for instance). If it's none of that then most likely your motherboard is toast.

          Assuming it's a slow blink, that just means it's getting power.

          LGA CPUs don't have pins ;). They have pads.
