So basically i let my friend borrow my CPU cooler for a little and when he returned it and I reinstalled it my PC wouldnt post. I think it was on really tight so I reinstalled it again properly and it still wont post. What happens is I get ZERO error lights on my MoBo, my GPUs fans twitch every 5 or 6 seconds, and all the fans spin fine aside from the GPU. I have tried a seperate PSU just incase it was dead to no avail. I believe it is bent CPU socket pins, but Im not sure. I've tried reinstalling my CPU tons of times and still to no avail. Anyone else ever have a similar problem who can help me? All wires are secure and UNCHANGED prior to the problem. No post to the MoBo onboard graphics either unfourtunately. Thanks all for reading.

YOu need to do an unbuild. Meaning.... take everything out except what is absolutely necessary. Necessary = Ram, probably a cooler or fan, CPU and if the CPU has built in graphics use that. TEST..... If that doesn't work remove everything from the case and place on an antistactic surface... test... He cooler is not the problem unless it is shorted out. MOst modern MB's require a cooler on the CPU to boot.
