DQ6 reset cycling due to broken CPU socket pin?

Secondly, I seem to recall that you also physically modified your DQ6 and lo and behold soon after it is rendered inoperable, or to put it in your own words, you "killed" it.

Well Darkoz, it seems I may have to concede at least half a point here.
I've heard back from Gigabyte (indirectly) and apparently a CPU socket pin is busted. I am not sure whether it is broken or bent. So, the 'physically damaged' board will be repaired at my expense.
Although I am not convinced that I did this, and though I don't believe my (documented) actions could be realistically considered as 'physically modifying the board' as Darkoz put it, I do recall some difficulting replacing the plastic protective insert back into the socket for shipping, of all things. (Stupid, I know, but probably due to the variety of socket inserts I've got floating around and the stress I was feeling at the time :rolleyes:.) Otherwise, I can't really imagine how I could have broken a socket pin :confused: I am quite careful with these things, truly... (No smart-arse comments, please ;)).
Nevertheless, I will be interested to know whether the board exhibits the original problem after they repair the socket.
