Bent CPU pin pc won't turn on

[shawnachase23]

Pc was running funny so I opend and looked and after noticing bent CPU pins I tried putting b back in and Now pc won't turn on at all.
Could this be because of bent CPU pins?

I also orderd new CPU if I try to install this will it harm the new CPU at all?

Intel or AMD? It makes a difference.

On an Intel board, bent pins can certainly prevent booting. A different CPU won't change that.

On AMD, you're lucky if you can actually get it installed and locked down.


Can you post a clear pic of this issue?

It's AMD.

And I'm not sure what you mean by booting but psu is good and I can't even turn on at all. So I'm thinking CPU was issue just to clearify as it does have bent pins

An AMD cpu with a bent pin absolutely needs to be fixed.
If it can be fixed without breaking it off.

If it was 'bent', and you forced the CPU in far enough to get it locked and the cooler on...that pin is bent over a full 90 degrees.
Bending it back may indeed break it off completely.

I just orders a new CPU. It's bent on the CPU not the mobo. Could this cause he pc not to turn on or "post" as it's hard to tell if it is turning on without fans moving?

Right.
AMD pins are on the CPU.
Intel pins are on the motherboard.

A new CPU with non bent pins should work.

So I was correct and this is why the pc won't turn on and fans won't spin etc

Correct? Just wanna make sure I understand correctly.

Probably.
CPU doesn't work, nothing works.
