I noticed a red light on my motherboard that indicates a CPU issue, and I'm not getting any display on my monitor. I checked for bent pins and found some, which could be the problem. I'm wondering if there are other potential causes I should consider. Any ideas?

The red light usually means there's a problem with the CPU, so you're on the right track thinking about the bent pins. It might also be worth checking if the CPU is seated properly in the socket and ensuring that you’re using the right power connections to the motherboard. Sometimes, it can be a power supply issue too!
Definitely check your motherboard manual to see what the red CPU light indicates. If it says it's a CPU issue, then bent pins could be the culprit, but it might also be worth reseating the CPU and applying fresh thermal paste just to rule that out.
