Cpu, Red led

Ok I feel like a bit of a moron,

 

I've a FX8350 and a Asus 990fx sabertooth 2.0

 

I picked up a H55 corsair water-cooler kit for my self and was installing it. I was, removing the cpu and it was stuck to the cpu cooler and i pulled it straigh out. At this moment you probably closing you eyes with atosnishment of how a stupid moron I am but Its done And i feel even more fvcking stupid.

 

I removed the cpu from the heat sink clean of the cpu with alcohol and checked over the pins with magnfying glass no pins are bent/broken off.

So i continued with the installation that seemed to go fine, checked the wiring in-case something was loose.

 

turned it on and got a red light

 

can any one help me please, I dont want to have to buy a new mobo and cpu but if I have to I will Id just like to know sooner rather then later :)

 

any help would be epic

 

 

thanks

 

i did the same thing when i went to re apply my TIM, pulled the cpu out without even lifting the lever, but my system is still up so i dont know what happened to yours. can you see any damage on your board? might just be bad luck, try the cpu in another mother board to make sure it's not the cpu
