So i was trying to fix a bent pin on my motherboard, when i fixed it and turned on the pc everything was working perfectly, then i forgot i hadnt screwed in the cpu cooler (212x) and when i lifted the pc up it fell into the gpu (small impact nothing crazy) then the pc turned off, i tried everything you can imagine and everything tells me that either the cpu or mobo is dead. I tried using my old motherboard (which has literally 2 missing pins) and it turned on for 2 seconds, does that mean that the cpu is fine? also no visible hits on the cpu or anything.

Sounds like your shorted something... Could have fried anything attached to the MOBO including the CPU...

Don't forget to @me / quote me for a reply =]

Probably damaged the GPU unless it had a backplate.
