Wasn't sure where to post this. Noob to this stuff.
My pc was overheating, so I decided to clean the heatsink. I read on here that it was acceptable to remove it and spray with canned air, do I did that. I also removed my gpu and cleaned it as well.
I ended up bending some of the pins on the cpu when I was trying to put the heatsink back on because it somehow popped out of the lock. I guess I was putting too much pressure.
Well, now my usb ports don't work and I get nothing on my monitor.
Did I ruin my cpu by bending the pins, or the mobo by putting way too much pressure down? Or maybe static? All the fans turn on.
Just no power to anything outside.
Thanks for any help.
