Odd Issues, Need Help! CPU Pins bent! How Do I Fix!

Get this did the same thing, only everything was fine on mine. was just "curious" so took out my cpu, and when I pushed it back onto the mobo i didn't press hard enough (being delicate with it) i tried to lock it onto the board, ended up bending down 10 or 11 pins. slowly tryed to straighten them and they just fell off. not even cracked. i'de say 2 or 3 pins fell off. put it back onto my mobo, booted up fine. It was all luck. it's also a socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 processor 3500+ 2200 Mhz 1 Core... yeah im running old school.

If you ever bought a CPU from a store before with a list of specs, there is an L1 and L2 Chache on the cpu, they hold about 256Kb - 2Mb of ram, the REALLY fast stuff, his has around 512Kb, but 7 will 100% assured crash below 44mb of ANY ram.
Are you high? The BIOS will detect the fact that there is no installed system memory (and in most cases emit a series of beeps telling you there is no memory installed) and fail to post. End of story.

Mine doesn't. I was trying to test one stick of RAM by itself and it wasn't in the whole way, took me 2 minutes to figure it out >_>
 
When RAM is inserted improperly, it'll try to boot, but won't emit a beep code. If you remove it, it'll beep at you.
