Crashing Issues After Cleaning Computer

toastythomas

I was cleaning my computer yesterday and I accidentally dropped my CPU ~3 feet on a tile floor. I also bent some pins in the socket while cleaning around the socket. I fixed the pins so visibly they're okay looking.

 

Upon start up, Windows would not boot and the Intel motherboard sent out three beeps. I understood this as a memory issues so I reseated everything and tried one stick. The one stick solution worked. Now I am on my computer with one of the RAM sticks not in the system.

 

Once I booted the PC, my hard drive was not being detected by Windows. It would appear in BIOS, but not in Devices or Disk Management. I solved this by enabling hot plug capability and plugging in the hard drive after OS boot.

 

Now, my computer is crashing games and just crashing in general.

 

I have ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and it shows no issues. Here is my computer build. What on earth have I done to my PC?
