Snap Socket
What to do about a broken CPU socket clip?
I had opened up my computer recently to check my motherboard’s slots and sockets for potential upgrades and when I took out the CPU one of the clips on either side that keeps the unit down snapped in half. With only one of the clips and the half of the other on I restored power and started it up, the fan on the CPU and power supply went on like usual but everything else was unresponsive, the monitor remained on “Power Saving Mode” and holding down the power button didn’t stop the system. I figure this is on account of the pins on the CPU not being inserted far enough in but manuallty holding it down has no effect. I plan on buying a new CPU soon anyway but wanted to know if it would come with new clips or if I’d have to find a way to replace one. =/ Any help would be appreciated.
you broke off the heat sink clips. They have nothing to do with holding in the CPU and everything to do with keeping it from burning up. It sounds like that is just what you did. By turning the thing on without the heat sink installed properly you fried your CPU.
You need to get a new CPU AND heat sink/fan assembly.
some CPU’s come with a heat sink kit bundled in.
