I have checked over and over. There are no bent or missing pins and the CPU fits perfectly into the socket.
I used alcohol before to clean the socket. I let it dry over night each time and used the cold air setting on a hair dryer and used canned air. Is it possible that the motherboard is damaged and not the processor, or that both of them are damaged? I don't have the means at this point to try my parts with someone else's so I'm trying to decide which is the best to order, another CPU or another motherboard to do the testing. The CPU is cheaper than the motherboard was, and I would like to order whichever one is most likely to fix the problem, since I'm not going to be able to return anything once I use it.
