This is going to sound very dumb as I am a professional in computing, but I got distracted by my two dogs and I managed to put my AMD Ryzen 9 3900x into my Asus B550-F the wrong way and I don't remember using any force either, but it went in the socket.
The QLED on the mobo is solid white on VGA) I noticed 3 bent pins when I removed the CPU.
I managed to unbend the pins using a pen knife inside down running it's down each of the lanes of pins vertically and horizontally until they straighten-out, and checked with a magnifying glass and no pins are missing and it appears as straight as when I bought it.
However, my motherboard is still showing a solid white light on VGA and previously it has not done this with the same processor in.
It's worth noting, there are no graphics cards installed on any of the PCIe slots either, I'm using the CPUs graphics with the on-board HDMI port (monitor and cable checked as working).
My question is is really for an expert on CPUs, is it likely that if the CPU was put in the wrong way, it might have short-out the CPU (socket looks fine)?
Thanks for any advice.
