Wait, so you took out your whole motherboard when changing the cooler? I don't think bending your cpu pins should occur unless you also took out the cpu when you changed the fan. Reseat your RAM sticks. You don't even see your bios, right?

This is gonna be one of those "captain obvious" replies, but here goes: Did you clean off the old thermal paste from the processor with alcohol (water is bad) and use new thermal paste if the new cooler didn't have it already?

Yes cleaned it with alcohol applied thermal paste.I almost forgot to remove the plastic seal from the new cooler but I remembered it before actually installing it :)
Update I just removed the cpu and a pin in the socket is broken.
