    Hi jetfire245, and welcome to CHF.

    "I had to have my CPU (Processor) socket pins bent back in place not much else besides that"

    The CPU thing is no small thing! I'm assuming that this delicate work was done by a professional tech? Was the motherboard damaged as well?

    1) After the pins were altered are you sure that the heatsink was reseated correctly? If you can, check out your temperatures. Speccy is good for this...(see link below)

    2) Check each stick of installed Ram by removing all but one stick in turn.

    3) Check to see that your Power Supply Unit (PSU) is working correctly. If you don't know how to do this, then either get a pro to do it for you, or swap it for a known to be good unit.

    Some of the other guys here may have some other ideas for you. To help them help you, please give us as many details about your computer as you can...make and model, etc.

    I see that you are using Fraps. I have to assume this because you may not answer for a while, but if you were recording with Fraps it may have been pushing your CPU way too hard, causing your whole computer to crash. A few questions as well. What was happening the first time it did this, like did you install any new software, hardware etc.? Why did you have to have the pins on your CPU bent back into place? Was anything else running at the time of these crashes?

    Aright guys so first off,the reason my pins were bent back,was because the socket was half one way half the other,also my cpu is at normal temperature,anything else will be in this CPU-Z diagnostics.

    IF YOU CANNOT OPEN THE FILE YOU NEED WINRAR (your interest would be at the top,either the x64 or x84)

    P.S. From the report you will see my cpu can handle fraps
