If you put the cpu in wrong orientation you could have bent socket pin.

Thanks that's what I thought.Any idea why I get the cpu fan on high with an orange power light> The upper left cpu screw won't come out so I had to muscle the heatsink out of the way to replace the cpu. I think something on the back of the motherboard broke because the screw turns but never detaches from the MB. Is my MB fried? Thanks again!
