Is it possible to break one of the socket pins and cause a random restart? Without Warning or blue screen?

Hello
I have a computer that I've compiled three years ago


CPU I7-6700K
M / B: MSI Z170A m7
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB STRIX OC
RAM: 16GB Trident
SSD: SSD 850 512g PRO
HDD: WD Black 2TB
Cooling: H100i v2
PSU: 750 P2, 80+ PLATINUM
Condition: NZXT H440 BLACK



But it restarts itself without warning
And without a blue screen

It runs itself more than once at the same time

I said it is impossible to get a PSU reason because its quality is too high

Then I thought to myself that it was possible from the water cooler

Then I went to buy a new list but still the problem !!

At that time, before I bought a new cooler, the hwmonitor program read high temperature information

After the new installation usually read the heat well

Then, remove the CPU
I noticed that one of the nails was broken

Could it be the reason ???

what should I do now

Yes having an broken Pin on cpu can effect your computer and the computer restarting itself might be due to the broken pin do not know but 2 months ago my motherboard had an bent pin and my two ram slots stopped working dont know if it was the bent pin or my psu died on me!

To see if it’s a psu problem switch it with another one or test it. But careful, YOU NEED TO USE AN ANTI-STATIC STRAP, you don’t want to overcharge anything with static electricity, trust me. And I think you need to look carefully if all the pins are still in the cpu. If not it is probably stuck in the motherboard, which will also trigger restarts.
