A few weeks back I removed a power connector from the motherboard (that went right next to the CPU). When I tried to push it back in, it wouldn't go in, and I accidentally bent a pin, on the motherboard.
Using a flat screwdriver I put the pin back in place, and the PC worked, and is still working. But once or twice every day it shuts down without any errors or BSODs.
I was thinking of replacing the PSU as I've tested both of my RAM sticks which don't seem to have any issues. Then I remembered my fuck up, when I bent the pin.
How likely is it that the bent pin (that I fixed) could be causing these issues that I'm having with PC restarts? I didn't have the issue before that happened. But it did start happening like a week after the incident.
