Greg Salazar has a web channel where he fixes computers for free for people that live in Central Florida. On a recent video (Jan 4, 2024) he decided to fix his own computer. He couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work. When he finally found out why he was embarrassed to find out that there was a bent pin in the Intel CPU socket. He was lucky because he was able to fix the computer by straitening the bent socket pins. Note he discovered the problem around 9 minutes into the video.
