What symptoms can bent CPU pins cause?

[normiecs23]

Getting a new CPU because my pins were bent, about 5 or 6 and I wasn't able to unbend it and 2 were already snapped in ahalf.

However, before I found out, no POST, display or beeping occurred, it was a CPU with iGPU.

Could bent pins be the causes of no PoST, display or system beeping?
What else could it cause? I'm very curious.

recently bent some motherboard pins... now I am reduced to two working dram slots..

The listed reasons are quite accurate of what happens when youve got that many bent pins.

I only had a bent pin, guess more severe symptoms will follow if more are bent

Literally any aspect of the PC could fail to function as a result of broken/non working pins.
Dead RAM slots, no boot, connectivity issues, etc could all happen. If you look online you may be able to find a pinout guide for your processor, some pins dont do anything, others are vital.
