Well i ran into a few problems in the past week or so while i was playing games, while i was playing WoW my computer started to lag for no reason at all and i was completely puzzled to why it was doing this when it hadn't before.
So in the past week i decided to take off my side pannel to remove some of the dust inside becuase it was preaty bad. And after i reconnected my computer up i was looking at the fans to make sure they were spinning and my CPU fan wasn't moving... it was kinda twitching in one spot. So i go to remove the fan and try to clean it a bit to see if dust and such was effecting it, and it wasn't, so i brought the fan to school to have our school techy to check the fan to see if it was actually good anymore and it wasn't. So today i went to buy a new fan and heatsink for my computer and when i went to remove the heatsink my CPU came off with it.

Those are a few pics of what it looks like... not sure exaclty if it will help or not.
I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the CPU from the heatsink without damaging it or should i just buy a new CPU. Thank you
