how old are u?
it was a Socket A bourd u were trying to fit the chip into right?
if so, i would take it back to the store u got it(if AMD support willnot help u) and demand thy excange it or soemthing, cause thy were the ones who told u it was compatable with a Socket A, just dont tell them u used a hammer on it.
and about How Old are u again?
EDIT: better yet, u may wont to have a girl excange it for u, one that can fake crying real easily
