so you're in the BIOS and all the sudden your computer freezes whoa you know something's seriously wrong when your computer starts freezing in the files right so if you're one of these people like me who had been motherboard pin this video might be for you welcome back to tech L city ladies and gentlemen is Brian coming back to you guys today with a video on bent and broken motherboard pins and what you should do if you ever come into this problem or this situation and now this video is going to differ a little bit too bent and broken CPU pins if you guys didn't know AMD they use pins or they put the pins on the CPU as opposed to Intel generally with their motherboards they have the pins on the socket or the motherboard and so this means the big difference here is that if there's a broken pin on the motherboard you generally can't fix it you're out of luck just hope and pray if you do have a broken pin on the motherboard just hope and pray that it is in a crucial pin and it's needed in order to work however the CPU on the AMD side if there's a broken pen if you guys haven't watched Linus's video you can actually he actually managed to put get the pin the broken pin put it in the socket and then put the CPU in there and it still worked so that's the big difference though for what it's worth I came into my x99 motherboard here in the background and when I first got it it was man Nelson serious problems going on so what basically I was in the BIOS and things were crashing in the BIOS and generally if things start crashing in the BIOS you know you've got a hardware problem basically so what I did in this case was the fact that it just freezes completely and it did this in Windows as well when you get complete frasier of your computer then what you want to do is you want to look at it and it's most likely going to be the CPU because it can't even process a blue screen of death and so in this case I took everything out I looked at the I mean I tried to all the other to stand troubleshooting things before I did it but I then took out the motherboard looked closely at the socket and I noticed there was two broken pins and one bent pin and so I had to proceed to bend that per hour the bent pin back so before we get onto this though I will say one thing and that is only do this as a last-ditch attempt for me this is a review sample I had nothing to lose so I did try to do this first however if I bought this as a brand new product I would have shipped it back for a replacement straight away so again only do this as a last-ditch attempt you've tried everything else and you'll notice you've got some bent CPU pins you can't replace it then you might want to give this a shot but for it's worth I managed to have AUD for x99 motherboard here already and so what I did was I put these motherboards side by side and then I could get a good real close look with macrophotography at the CPU pin layout and that gave me a guide and I could see the two of the pins were broken though they were touching the other pins so I managed to get these broken pins sort of out of the way and then it took me about 15 minutes but I slowly used this little pin here it's just the wall pin with a little nice grip there and I really took my time to bend the pin that was in the bottom region of the motherboard socket back to its original position and thankfully the two broken pins weren't crucial I'm guessing they were in the power delivery region of the motherboard socket the bottom pin bent back to normal and everything works perfectly fine before I did the review I managed to get this motherboard so I managed to give it a good run make sure that this problem wasn't affecting anything anymore and so thank God it was working really well so in conclusion all I can say is if you're going to try this seriously do it as a last-ditch attempt and you've tried everything else and then also while you're doing it really be careful really take your time for me as I said before I took about 15 minutes to do this and I bent the pin at the bottom pin back in and I managed to get those other two pins out of the way for me I was lucky to have this other motherboard here where I could use it as a reference photograph however you guys if you don't have another motherboy you may wish to get a picture off google of the socket and then just line it up and compare it and so put all the pins back to normal if you can so yeah that's about it guys if you have any questions about bent or broken motherboard pins and please leave a comment : section below if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and I'll come back to you guys very soon with another tech video bye
