As the title suggests my cpu won't work. I've had my build since mid January and recently noticed temps that were way to high. I took off the CPU cooler as you would normally do, and the CPU was stuck to the cooler. I took my time with alcohol and q tips and got it off. I then cleaned it off and put new thermal paste on, and preceded to reinstall the cooler. Then it wouldn't boot. I've checked it with two gpus, on both pcie slots so it likely isn't that, I tried my 2x8gb ram sticks in each slot individually. The fans start and the led on my mobo and gpu turn on. On my board (msi b550 a pro) there are lights that show errors. The CPU is fully lit up, and the dram is faintly lit when I try to boot. It won't let me get into bios. My thought was that the cpu pins were bent, but as far as I can see, they aren't. My next thought was that the MOBO pins were bent. This I'm not as sure on. I provided pictures of each below so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
