New CPU, computer won't power up any more
New CPU, computer won't power up any more
I purchased a new CPU (Ryzen 5700G), but it arrived sooner than expected, so I powered everything off and swapped in my old unit. The replacement has some bent pins, which I corrected as best I could and installed. After pressing the power button, lights, fans, and other components came on for about half a second before I shut it down immediately. Now nothing is turning on.
I attempted to reinstall the previous CPU, but it still doesn’t activate, not even doing anything. I searched various websites and forums for solutions, but nothing helped. This seems like a unique problem that none of the resources addressed.
I’ve tried almost everything and am considering taking it to a repair shop or replacing the motherboard before making further changes.
Details:
GPU: GeForce GTX 1660 Super
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600G (old), Ryzen 7 5700G (new)
RAM: Two Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB sticks
SSD: Included, 256GB
Power supply: Unknown, I can’t determine it.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
The new one has a few bent pins already, so I fixed those the best I could and put it in.
Do you have pictures of what the CPU looked like before you fixed it? Also, would be a good idea to pass on pictures for the new CPU's pins after you've fixed it.
Specs:

SSD: I can't figure it out, it's the one it came with. 256GB
You forgot to mention the make and model of your motherboard. For the sake of relevance, what BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?
On second thoughts, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
Verify whether that HP model was previously sold alongside the 5700G.
Are you new to this?!
What's the point of getting a CPU with bent pins if you don't want to send it back?
You can share pictures if you wish, so others can check whether the bent pins were power pins or just close by. If power pins land in an unexpected spot, it could damage the board and possibly the CPU too.
