I bought a Lenovo pre-built to swap the CPU with my main PC and keep as a secondary PC, now it has no display when turning on

So, as the title says, I got a really cheap Lenovo(I think it's a "ThinkCentre m73") pre-built from a friend that had a i5 4570 and 8GB RAM, so I swapped the i5 4570 with my old G3258 and took a memory module to put it on my main PC and left the pre-built with the G3258.

Before I swapped CPUs it'd boot into Windows and everything was right. Fast forward a few days, I got a USB keyboard and was gonna boot it and try overclocking the G3258 again, but the display would not turn on connected on the mobo's VGA. I tested the CPU and RAM just to be sure that it wasn't it, so the left options are either the 240W PSU or the motherboard. My guess is that the mobo is dead since the fans all spin until I turn the PC off.

What do you guys think?

Okay, I'm dumb.

I put the I5 back in the pre-built and it boot into windows repair mode, and it seems like I'll have to reinstall windows, that's fine.

But something went wrong as I was taking the I5 off my main PC I noticed a single bent pin on the socket, I managed to put it in place but now it's my main PC that will show nothing, either connected to the gpu or the integrated graphics, either with the g3258 or the 4570. Fml
