My CPU fan died, so I bought/installed a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo v2. I wasn’t careful enough when removing the old fan/heatsink and the CPU came off with it. Bent a couple of pins but got them straightened out. Cleaned the thermal compound and applied a new coating. Everything went back together fine. Powers up, fans run, but nothing is happening on the screen...at all. No boot-up, bios run, etc. presents as no input to the monitor, but looks like no computing activity whatsoever. Did I jack up the CPU, the socket, or something else? Not even sure how to trouble shoot other than dropping another CPU in it.
System specs: ASUS M4A88TD-EVO, AMD Phenom II X4 970, 4x Corsair XMS3 DDR 3, Samsung 840 Pro SSD, Corsair GS800 PSU.
Thanks in advance for your insights.
