I switched from a g850 to a 2320 i5 cpu. Tried to turn the power on and it keeps restarting after 3 seconds of being on. When i his my cmos button it will (sometimes) stay on but with no display whatsoever.
P67H2-A2 ECS motherboard
8gb ram 1333
7850 2gb

ect...

I hope i didnt just mess up my pc. Any help would be great.

Yeah if you have bent pins then you are more than likely going to need to get a new mobo. You may have been too excited when you got the new chip and either installed it incorrectly or forcibly.

Stopped working.... boots up to windows loading then crashes with my G850 now. Popped the cpu out and even though i know what i'm doing and was really careful.... i noticed some pins are bent in my socket.

I got my tweezers i use for SMT soldering and bent them back... it appears that one of the pins may have broke off at the end. I don't have time to test it now but it's looking grim.

Ahh yeah youre right. I was thinking he was talking about the socket itself for some reason. :D
