Ok so I recently got the Hyper 212+ cooler (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065) and when I was installing fans and doing some other work on my PC, I accidently hit the cooler ( which was installed ). I took out the cooler and I noticed that the processor was stuck to it and it got ripped right out of the socket. I noticed that the pins under processor where misaligned so I used a tiny screw driver to fix some of those. To my suprise, the processor barely went back into the socket after I pushed it a bit. Later on, after I was playing some casual games I got the blue screen of death! I am guessing the processor was overheating. However, when I restarted the computer the temps were around 50C at full load ... used Prime95. Can someone tell what was the problem? Was it safe to push the processor back in with some bent pins? By the way, before I got the blue screen of death I on the screen I saw some weird lines (red blue white....etc), which brings the idea that the GPU might be the problem ( which I doubt because I got really good temps).
Note: My computer is still running Prime95 ... I dont know yet if it has crashed. I'll update as soon as I get home.
