The power on / off circuitry does NOT have anything to do with the CPU ... UNLESS .. as dai said ... the CPU is faulty and drawing too much current in which case the power supply will go into protection mode. Something is causing a short when the CPU is installed, it could be that you managed to mount it incorrectly or that a pin or two might have bent or been broken causing a short, like kodi said.
Double check that no pins are missing from the CPU, That it was mounted correctly, should only fit properly in one position, That you have no paste left anywhere that might be causing a short when you plaec the CPU in the socket. If you can find a way to do so, find someone witha similar CPU to yours and try your CPU on their board , theirs in your Board to see whare the problem might be.
