I bought an old Dell Optiplex 7010 from ebay and decided to move the mb/cpu to a more modern case.
Took a whole day, couldn't figure out why the system wouldn't post after the move.
Long story short, I probably bent a few pins on the LGA. Didn't realize how fragile they were. I casually dropped the cpu into the socket, spin dropped, spin dropped etc..
Was dumb of me, but glad i learned my lesson on a cheap mb since all the x86 are LGA going forward.
How I found out is 1 of the DIMM wasn't functioning which is why the mb wouldn't even post. Did a few googling and found out a bad cpu pin is the most likely cause of DIMM slot not working....
Fixing LGA pins are a pin.
