so my brothers computers been messed up and wouldn't start, well i finally bought a motherboard for it after testing everything else pretty much. I installed everything. I installed the cpu or attempted to and it wouldn't go in. I bent the pins trying to put it in, but thats not a big deal because he wanted to upgrade to p4 from celeron so what was i doing wrong when i was trying to put it in?
It came out of the motherboard just fine but going back in was a whole other story.
Its a dell 2400, the cpu socket is 478 and has a heat sink attached to it. it has these green things on the sides of the sink and they would go in on only one side. the cpu would only go in on one side too. any idea what i did wrong trying to get it in?
(unless dell is just screwing us over and not letting me be able to put it back in?)
