So i had recently returned my mobo for bent pins. I had installed the cpu with the one bent pin, and it would not start up. I had tried booting it several times and fixing whatever i thought was wrong. i then had taken out the cpu to find a pin bent(on the mobo from what i described, could my cpu be damaged?

Unlikely the CPU was damaged.
But the only way to know is to start it up and see what happens.

Before - No boot
