Are these Bent Pins?

[fritzgoesrawr]

My PC shutdown automatically, and upon restarting I've never made it to POST I already tried different RAMs and PSUs but there was no luck. I even take it out of the case and still my PC doesn't POST. I decided to reseat my CPU and then I find my processor socket pins look weird. Is this how bent pins looked like? I've never seen any bent pins so this would be my first time if it really is. Lol. And is this the cause why my PC won't get to POST?

 

Thank You!

 

 

P.s. It's an LGA 1155 motherboard

Those certainly look bent but the camera flash makes it more difficult to see.

I think so. I have not seen bent pins but that looks like it would be it.

I've heard a mechanical pencil tip works well for straightening pins too. One of the metal ones.

THIS METHOD REALLY ONLY WORKS WITH AMD CPUS.  intel board pins aren't perfectly straight.  I don't advise using a mechanical pencil to try and fix it.

 

to OP: Hope you're good with tweezers and an eyeglass.

That part I did not know. Noted. I've never had to straighten a pin myself, I'd only heard of the tactic.

Sure do look like bent pins. You should be able to fix them, but be careful not to bend them any more than you need to. Fatiguing them is a bit of a worry, but if you're careful you should be able to fix them.

try if you can run a thin credit card through the pins.

u should try the card method it may work

Thanks guys for your help. I will try bending back the pins eventually I've already planned replacing it but just for the sake of saving money. :lol:
