I have read the troubleshooting sticky and I have done everything on there. I think that this is kind of an odd problem so I will start from the beginning. (IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ THE STORY SKIP THE NEXT PARAGRAPH AND START AT THE ***)
I was just upgrading from a stock cooler for my AMD Phenom 1090T x6 to a Noctua D15. The CPU was fused to the other heatsink, so I tried many different tricks from using floss to using a hairdryer. Eventually the only thing that worked was twisting the CPU off after soaking it in isopropyl alcohol 75%. I then allowed it to dry for 3 hrs and even blasted it with a hair dryer (on and off - I did not use the direct stream).
*** I put thermal paste back on the CPU and installed the new heatsink and fans. I plugged everything in correctly and the CPU fans start up when I turn on the computer. The first time I powered up I got a post BIOS loaded screen which was great, then my computer just instantly shutdown. I tried again, and the computer could not even get to the post screen this time. I waited around 5 minutes and tried yet again, and it managed to post, but same thing happened as last time and it shut down. And the process was repeated.
When I pried the CPU off of the heatsink, some pins were bent, but I carefully bent the few that were back into place. It fit into the socket correctly and I even locked it into place. What could be wrong? Do you guys think that the CPU is broken? I am not sure if a post screen can even showup without one. Please help ;w;
Thanks for any responses
