Question Cpu Bent pin Gpu not turning on

[JepwiJek]

So I bought a new cpu cooler for my pc. My cpu is a ryzen 5 3600 and I used the stock cooler for a while now. When I tried to remove the cooler i pulled on it then the cpu came with it stuck under because of the thermal paster between them. I'm not gonna lie there was a little resistance. I checked for bent pins but there was none. So I just continued to install the new cooler. When I booted the pc up the fans turned on but my graphics card was no longer turning on. I tried removing the gpu and trying to plug the display to the motherboard but there was still no display and would not go to post. I'm scared that all three of my mobo,gpu and cpu are broken.

You have no onboard video, so it won't do anything plugged into the MB. Are you sure you didn't bend a pin or a whole row. It happens. And for future reference, run the processor a bit first so the thermal paste is warmed up before removing the cooler.

Did you unplug power to the gpu by mistake.

Correction I'm sorry i found 2 bents pins i returned them back to normal I haven't tested it on another pc yet.

The gpu power was plugged my gpu is a 2070 super. Is there a chance that it could be the motherboard? I never touched the gpu in the whole installation procedure so i don't see how it would break

It does not seem like GPU. You need some to test GPU and CPU on a mainboard that you know as working. If both are fine, then it is the mainboard.

It is either the bend pins or the mainboard. I would again check the bend pins.

If you bent them back, it should be good. I just did this on my 3900x last month. Lol. Booted, nothing, took it off, 4 bent pins, bent them back, booted right up.

I've straightened out the pins replugged everything. The case fans turn on but it won't post and the gpu won't turn on anymore.

Is it normal for gpu to not turn on if cpu os damaged?

Update my friend tested the gpu and it won't turn on. But he got updates on his pc from geforce and intels updates when he plugged it in. And his pcie is gen 1 but shouldn't 2070 super be backwards compatible

It won't turn on, and then how did he get the updates?

If a GPU is working when the computer booted (with or without updates) it should show boot screen. Do you have a chance to see if your computer starts with a second-hand cheap GPU? Maybe your friends GPU, but just don't try it with a RTX 3090.

I can test my pc with his weaker gpu. But I don't get how pulling the cpu from the socket could damage the gpu

I don't think pulling the CPU is the culprit. But running the PC with bent pins can cause problems. If you try it with the weaker GPU, and if it works it will be good. But it can also be the mainboard, hope it is not.

 

[JepwiJek]

So does that mean my gpu is not dead?

It can be also your mainboard what I meant. If it didn't work with your friend's computer, it means GPU is the culprit. But we just didn't eliminate other parts yet.

 

[JepwiJek]

Is it possible that all 3 parts broke?

Unfortunately yes...

 

[JepwiJek]

Unfortunately yes...

Update: cpu and mobo still work tested with other gpu and ram. I dontt get how my gpu broke from removing the cpu

I am happy that it is just the GPU. It can be static electric, unrelated with the bent pins. Murphy's rule: <Mod Edit> happens. When did you buy the GPU? Its guarantee might still continue, and/or it can be something easy to fix .

6 months ago it has 1 yr warranty i also hope it is east to fix

Just send it. They would probably replace it.
