Bent pin on CPU and scorch mark on motherboard

Dieselsdad · Jan 16, 2016

Hi, I purchased an Asus M5A97 Plus Mothboard and a AMD Phenom ii x 4 940 CPU, as well as a new video card and new memory sticks. Some where one of the pins on the CPU got bent. After installing all my components, I started the computer and it would not post to the bios. After repeated checking if everything was installed correctly installed I found out with the aid of a magnifying glass I had a bent pin on the CPU and a scorch mark on my motherboard where the bent pin goes in. It must of caused a short, My question is are all my components damaged? Or is the damage only in the motherboard and CPU?

Probably only the CPU and maybe the mobo (only if the scorch affected the socket itself, which may be only visual), but the rest of the components should be ok.

Probably, but you can check your PSU voltage output using a volt meter, after you replace your mobo and processor, test one by one the vga card, ram and hdd. But check with any burn parts especially the RAM.
