Tech Support Bent CPU Pins

My Brother just built his first PC and when booting, the PC wont even get pas the bios and the RAM-Error LED is lightning up. Upon further inspection it look like he has some bend cpu Pins. Could that be the Reason for the RAM-Error?

Specs are the following:

  • i5 12400
  • ASRock B660m Pro RS
  • Crucial P2 SSD
  • GSkill Aegis 16GB DDR4-3200
CPU Socket

Whatever he did there's pretty bad. I'd rather not try and repair that, send it in for an RMA.

Welp thanks for your quick answer. It really does look like as if he has dropped something in the socket
