Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I am having an issue.
I recently upgraded my cpu from a i5 3350p to an i7 3770k in a gigabyte h61 board. From the start I had an issue with black no signal screen. After a few restarts and while reading, the PC restarted and everything was kind of ok, played a few games, no crashes etc.
That was until I shut it down. Tried to turn it on and had the same no signal error. The leds and fans start up, but no signal. Went to sleep.
Today the pc turned on again after restarting by itself, played a bit and had to go. Now tried to turn it on and no luck.
Tried to reseat gpu, cpu, swap the cpu to the old one, different ram configurations, removing gpu and using integrated graphics.
Any ideas what the issue may be?
While changing out the cpu I had some issues removing the cpu cooler, so I may have pressed on the cpu cooler sideways trying to remove it, possibly bending the pins? (this was while the cooler was still in place, so the pins would have gotten bent down at the front half the socket, possibly).
Does this look like anything similar bent pins would cause? I looked at the pins and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, although I did check on my phone, so maybe missed something. I also was not able to see if any of the pins were bent down, not side to side as the lighting was poor.
