Boot cycle after installing new cooler

[Viktor277]

I forgot to warm up the cpu before removing old cooler, and ended up pulling the cpu out with the cooler. No bent pins on the cpu or any visible damage to the socket, but after putting it back together with the new cooler, it just boot cycles, refusing to give any signal to the monitor, heard of this happening to lots of people but 90% haven't done any damage to their system.. lol

thats a potential RIP. You may have damaged the substrate of the CPU but you cant see it, or the socket is broken under where you cant see. You can try reset cmos but alas if that doesnt work, reseat it and try again.

Been busy past couple of days, sorry for late reply.. So, it was a roller coaster trying to figure out what was wrong with it, and i still down know what was. I brought it to some computer shop where we tried to put their own cpu in my system, it did not boot with 2 different and tested cpus, so we deemed motherboard as deceased. As for my cpu it worked fine on his system so yeah, we thought motherboard was dead, loop cycles kept occurring, bios cleaning didn't help either, so i just put the cpu in the socket and brought it home. We pulled ram out as well and tried to see if thats dead, but it worked fine as well. When i brought it home i tried to boot it one last time before i order another motherboard, and yeah it just booted up lol. It brought up the new cpu installed screen and prompted me to f1 setup page, ram and cpu were properly detected. Did stress testing on both cpu and gpu and both passed flawlessly. Had no issues since, Still don't know what made it come back to life but yeah it works now. Saved myself 150 bucks.
