Seemingly nobody understands. The topic name CLEARLY states 'Touched CPU pins, won't boot.'

This isn't a topic about how some CPUs don't have pins, this isn't a topic to argue why some CPUs don't have pins.

Clearly his fat greasy friend touched the pins, shorting out the CPU.

My advice would be to check on the CPU connections, to see if you smell and foreign smell that doesn't belong, or see if there is any black spots on the top or bottom of the CPU.

If you don't find anything, carefully clean the pins with some alcohol, let dry, reapply thermal solution, and reseat the CPU.

if it does infact have pins, then take a magnifying glass and check for bent ones, try getting a tweaser and bending them back.
If not, get some specialist to come in jjust incase :P

Is your PCU power in. When I built my PC I forgot to plug in the CPU power it would turn on but wouldn't post... Maybe its that. What Motherboard is it?

[QUOTE=peterboi;20804895]Omg i did that while disassesmbling my old computer. Needed the cooler for my new cpu since it was oem. So i tried removing it, it was stuck so i forced it out the cpu was stuck to it...[/QUOTE]

Well I put the cooler down sideways facing away from me then I took a look at the socket and was surprised to see nothing there.

What does that have to do with this

I had a similar problem with my 940, the pins got bent when we removed it from the motherboard. Just check for bent ones and adjust them very carefully. Working from the CPU right now, good as new.

Im rich and I own 9001 cpus... all without pins!
