Hello all,
Basically yesterday morning my pc BSODed, i thought nothing of it and rebooted the pc only to find that i could not get into the BIOS as it hung on the bios screen, left for about an hour an dwas still there, i rebooted it again and this time it just posted nothing, so i reset the cmos and still nothing. now this is where i failed, i reseated the cpu but i accidently dropped the cpu bending a few pins, all bent back except one which snapped off... Now here is my issue. I originally thought it could be the motherboard due to hanging on bios and the fact that it bsodded as the cpu has been stable for a very long time, and has gone under 36 hours on prime 95, however now the cpu pin has snapped off it could be there.
So my thoughts so far are
Motherboard is bust, Cpu is Fine
CPU is bust motherboard is fine
Both are broken now
So what are my options, im tempted to ask my local pc shop if they can test the cpu see if it works without the pin, then test the motherboard as well, perhaps it could be another component, the spec is in my sig.
Thanks!
