(Although, most places will not accept a mobo with a bent pin, unless you have some way of proving it was made defective.Ngghh yeah I'm still slightly hoping I don't have to rebuild a desktop so I'm looking into some tech repair places I might try calling today.
But then if I do need to build a new one gughhhhhh.
I like my desktop guys ; ; It's got blue shiny lights and I built it. :c

I've bought thermal paste since the one I have is left over an hour away. I've attached and reattached the cooler after trying to re-seat the cpu. I tried to check if the thing would just POST really quickly without the cooler and without it. Done the same thing with the RAM, no beep codes :/
Bring it over today/tomorrow/when you're free. We both know how many computers have lived/died around me. *takes our surgeon gloves*
