No, nothing bent.
The cpu debug light can come on for any reason to do With the cpu, not just Because of the cpu. Meaning if the ram is not seated properly, the memory controller in the cpu reads an error, you get cpu debug. If the bios is glitched, you get a cpu debug error etc. Doesn't necessarily mean it's an problem with the cpu, but does mean the cpu is having a problem.

That means check everything that can possibly affect how the cpu works. Ram, monitor, gpu, storage, wiring, motherboard standoffs, cpu cooler, everything.

Errors work downstream. You'll get a vga error if the gpu cannot output a signal to the monitor, you'll get cpu error for anything affecting cpu, ram error if the ram is actually bad etc. Errors don't work...

That's an intel cpu, nothing but buttons underneath, little scratch-pads that make contact inside the socket where you'll find the finger pins.
Amd has pins on the cpu, Intel has pins on the motherboard. So no, there's absolutely nothing on an intel cpu to bend.

oh forgot to say my mobo has cpu pwr 1 and cpu pwr 2 on with 8 pins and one with 4 I only connected cpu pwr 1

Should have a 20+4pin main connector on the right hand side of the motherboard and a 4+4pin connector (CPU or EPS) that goes to the 8 pin connector on the top-left of the motherboard. That's all that's necessary. You only need to use the cpu_pwr 2 (4pin) if heavily overclocking, and should have the right psu for that anyway.

Have you tried as bare bones as possible, 1 stick of ram, no gpu, no hdd or even just cpu mobo and psu to see if you get the same error? The socket looks fine (no bent pins I can see) the cpu light usually indicates the cpu failed to initiate. Either because the mobo doesnt recognise it, or doesn't get enough power, or a faulty cpu/mobo. Did you figure out what the debug light means?

no the debug only says cpu has a problem I tried reinstalling 3 times checked every cable million times did everything I could but nothing how would thr mobo doesn't recognize it?

So you won't see a cpu error if the ram is bad, but will see a cpu error if the memory controller can't see the ram.

Both. Depends when it's used and for what reason.

If everything is new and untouched or tinkered with, there should be no reason to clear cmos. The bios will be set for factory default and you've no OS yet to write anything to cmos.

After the OS is installed, that's different. There will be changes to bios, tinkering by the user etc and may or may not be what's best for the pc, so a cmos reset can clear up issues.

It's not normally a necessary procedure unless there's hardware/firmware changes on the pc side or software changes on the OS side.

But it never hurts, and if it appears to, then there was an underlying issue to start with.
