My CPU went missing?!

[Flipsolid]

First off my computer needed cable management so i fixed it up a little.Then my computer wouldn't actually run, ( the front light want turning on and i tried every little possible thing for it) then i decided to take my computer into several pieces and see what is wrong. When i took off the fan for my CPU my CPU wasn't there.... i know i installed it and now i am very confused.

Also: i have one screw that will not come off my motherboard ( int directly in the middle and i keep turning it but nothing happens)

Please help, Thanks 🙁

CPU can get stuck to heat sink, the thermal paste burns in and becomes like glue, so by removing heat sink you yaneked cpu out as well,.

maybe....? or Gremlins stole it,

the screws that hold motherboard can unscrew the nut thing that you screw into case, so they be stuck together,
just remove the rest of screws then use pliers to hold nut on other side of motherboard to finish.

Straightening pins on a CPU is a VERY DELICATE operation. I have had to do this once for me and once for a friend. You need a very thin knife and need to do it very slow and carefully. You will have a high probability of snapping one or more pins making the CPU useless.
Be careful and GOOD LUCK
