Alienware Aurora R7 cpu ?
I picked up a Aurora R7 without a processor. I know it's not listed as being supported but because I had it I popped it in and it acts dead with only the switch light blinking amber 2 times. But one other thing when I put the cpu in it looked like there was a speck of dust in the CPU socket so is it most likely to be a bent pin or just the cpu ?

If the CPU is not on the CPU supported list, it will not boot.
That being said, there could be other issues with it besides that. Only trying with a supported CPU will tell if there's anything else going on.
