[SOLVED] (Solved)Pc doesn't start after I dropped it

[Andy_Cross_]

I dropped my PC when I tried to lift it up, it was on the side with the wires(I was cleaning it, I also changed the thermopaste), and it fell for about 10 cm, now, only one ram seems to work, only one's rgb works so yeah, I have two rams. And when I plug the power the motherboard rgb makes a rly fast blink and after only the rgb from one ram it seems to have power, when I try to press the power button the pc doesn't start. The desktop is only one year old. I would be grateful if you could help me please.

Update: about 10 to 15 pins of the proccesor are bent, they are on the margins and it is a Ryzen 7 2700x

Check if anything was unseated, particularly cables and contacts.

Those (bent CPU pins) couldn't have happened because of that fall, you must have damaged them during cleanup.

That can't happen from dropping the whole PC.

I think it was indeed when it fell, because right now when I tried to get the Cooler off, the cpu is stuck to it, I put too much thermopaste...

Well guys I didn't too the cpu out during clean up at all so I do not think I damaged them during that time.

Pins are clamped tight when inside the socket, there's no way they can bend like that unless. socket broke apart.

Huh ok, how can I figure out if the socket is broken?

Look at ait closely while you move retaining lever.

It seems ok no problem, should I look for smth in particular?

Maybe you could use a magnifying glass an shine a lite in small holes for pins, there is a whole grid of contacts to be seen slightly moving when lever is moved, they pinch pins to make better contact. if lever wasn't all the way back the may miss-align and bend contacts.

Guuuuyyyss I did it, it works fine, I am doing the bios settings, they seem to have been reset, I was right about the problem, thr pins bended when the pc fell, because of the excces of thermopaste I put...I bended the pins in how they should have been. The pc turned on, it seems that one rgb from one of the rams is not working but it is recognized so no funny bussiness. Thank for the help I really appreciate.)

Solved!! )

Just thought of possible explanation 😉
When it fell down, CPU cooler could have jumped a bit, enough to pull (because of sticky paste) CPU up from holes were those pins were bent when spring forced it back.
