    Has anybody had and got around this problem?
    I updated my system to i7 and I fear I may have bent a pin on the LGA 1366 Socket installining the CPU.
    It booted and installed the OS. While doing this it kept asking for Bios to be updated. Finally it wont POST or even boot to Bios.

    Komplette says I cant RMA cause this voids the warrenty.

    Has anybody overcome this?

    Thanks Massy086. I reinstalled the Cpu and while doing so had a look at the pins on the Lga 1366 socket. Oddly there looks like there was a problem with a pin but on closer inspection with a magnifying glass it looks like only very slightly. With nothing to lose I manouvered it in line with the other pins and now(fingers crossed) all is well. Somehow I dont think that was the problem but I'm up and running.


    Thanx again for the reply and the great link.
