Hello everyone!
I've been really stressed about this problem, spending all of my Sunday yesterday debugging.
The issue started when my CPU overheated while playing games, causing the computer to shut down and display a BSOD warning.
I removed the cooler to replace the thermal paste, but the old paste had dried up, so the CPU was taken out along with it. A few pins bent, but I managed to straighten them.
Now I can access the BIOS, but whenever I tried to boot Windows, it got stuck on the manufacturer logo or a BSOD with various messages (changing each time). For example, "System thread exception not handled", "IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL", or "Kernel heap mode corruption".
I suspected the Windows installation might be corrupted, so I purchased a USB stick and also got an M.2 SSD. When I booted the Windows installer from the USB, the BSOD persisted.
Then I removed all the old SSDs and used just the M.2 SSD, which finally allowed me to reach the Windows installer. However, when choosing a drive for installation, the M.2 SSD wasn't visible in the BIOS, even though it was shown there.
I've checked every online thread I could find.
I've tried:
* Updating the BIOS
* Using only one RAM stick
* Disabling CMS, secure boot, and fast boot
My hardware details:
Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus
CPU: Ryzen 5800X
RAM: Four 8GB sticks, I experimented with different combinations
M.2 SSD: Kingston NV2 Gen 4 1TB
What are your thoughts? Is my CPU just dead? It feels strange because sometimes I manage to boot the Windows installer successfully :S Maybe it's not dead at all, but it's not working properly either.
Edit 1
I removed the M.2 SSD and used only one SSD with Windows installed. It seems to be repairing itself. I don't understand why it still shows a BSOD when I have more than one SSD. Or is it the M.2? Or perhaps the CPU is the issue. I'm not sure.
Edit 2
Startup repair failed.

It's rarely a positive outcome, no matter how much you attempt to fix the pins. It seems the device will continue to fail unpredictably. I recommend testing the CPU on a different board or using another CPU to help identify the issue more clearly.

Sure, I'm sure you're correct. I just need to face the reality. But I'll head over to buy a new CPU later today.

You're always able to visit a shop or repair center, try it out with a spare part, and confirm it before giving up. It's not bad to double-check.
