This left the problem of sending the ASCII data to the printer. Time to shell out some cash for a new one. It's possible some of the pins may be *very* close to snapping off if you meddle with them even slightly more - chances are your CPU is damaged beyond repair. Make sure none of the pins were snapped off or damaged. WHy? Please help me if you can come up with a solution. the pin even more, or bend neighboring pins trying to fix the first one. After this troubleshooting it shows that its NOT the CPU that is causing the issue, and it doesnt seem to be RAM either. But then my PSU would not let my computer to start up. STEP 1: The PC builder's nightmare: a bent CPU pin.

Here's the story, when I removed the heatsink, the cpu stuck with the heatsink because of the gooey and sticky thermal grease, and thus when I pulled the heatsink out, I ended up pulling the CPU with the heatsink attached, too bad the lock on the socket wasn't released, so I've bent 2 rows of pins on the CPU slightly.Īs a solution I've used a small fruit knife and ruler to unbend the pins back into straight rows, and when I placed the cpu back into motherboard socket, it matched all the holes in the socket without any gap.
