My computers still doesnt work...freezes at msi logo

Question

Well I posted here a few weeks ago because the bios flash failed on my msi k8t neofisr2. I sent it back, and they reflashed and I received it in the mail today. Put in everything, no problems. I press the power switch, see the msi logo, and it just sits there. Forever. Now when I look at the little D bracket lights on the back there all light up, which means the cpuis bad or not installed properly. Im pretty sure it is the cpu, because when I was removing the cpucooler and cpu before the thermal compound formed a seal so tight when I lifted up on my cooler it just ripped the cpu out as well. The pins look perfectly straight, but the base of some look a little different, a little shiner. If this ruined my cpu, which I believe it did, Its a very poor design that the cooler rips out the cpu because of the stickiness of the thermal compound. Obviously its not msi's fault because they dont design the cooler or the cpu......pisses me off though, I really cannot afford anoother close to 200 hundred dollar processor. If its not a faulty processor please tel me what to do, I tried reseting the cmos by taking the jumper out for about 20 seconds and it had no effect. It just hangs at the msi screen at the very start....but this wouldnt have happend if their liveupdate feature hadnt mysteriously failed for no reason. Liveupdate should be taken out, and bios flashing should be left to only through the floppy and dos method,which is much more reliable and less likely to spawn problems like these.

*read the bottom ifyou dont want to read it all, just here to archivemy total process*
Well my pc ram perfectly before I had this whole bios flash problem, and I mean flawlessly, not one crash for over a month in windows xp (amazing huh?) So I doubt that its the PSU or memory. I did forget that you have to move the little jumper, Ill try that immediatly! I pray that it works.... and just to letyouknow, I did wiggle the cpu cooler like it says in the manual, im very careful aboutthings especialy 200 dollar cpus. Didnt help at all though, I propably spent 20minutes trying to get it out before it was ripped. The pings are not bent, I checked very very carefuly by looking at the side of it. Right now I have just the cpu in their without the cooler for testing purposes, just to see if I can get past the first screen. I doubt it will overheat within just a few seconds of simple bios type stuff. Ill try reseting the jumper now. IF that first screen comesup, does that say anything? Can my cpu still be good, I mean if it was bad would that screen even show up? If I can get intothe bios ill disable it, I had it that way before. Thanx for the help, and the thermal grease I used was the one that came with the cooler, and then recently some fairly cheap grease that I bought the other day, it was white and came in  little tube, I hope amd will not recognize it as bad if I send it back.....
Is it more likely that my mobo socket is damaged or the cpu? Mobo is muchhhh cheaper lol
O yes and by the way jocko the mobo just gives off one normal beep during startup, like it usually does If I remember correctly. How accurate is that dbracket thing anyways? Cables were all connected, I disconnected everything and tried both of my 512 sticks of corsair vs in slot one, and tried it with them both in slots 1 and 2 before.  I am now about to start it up again after reseting the jumper by moving it down to the lower pins, nowmoving it up as im typing this. Update soon.
SUCESS!!!! I RESET THE JUMPER AND IT GETS PAST THAT SCREEN! I am now installing the cpu cooler, the screen I saw said "bios not installed".I never thought that message could make me so happy lol, but "bios not installed" is a nice site to see! I read another similar post about this same problem, where the guy had to keep reseting his jumper. Im so glad nothing is hopefuly damaged! Thankyou guys so much! I will read his, and ifyou have any more fixes please tell me.
I have also decided to never update my bios on my mobo again lol
Update: I do not have to reset the jumper ervery time, how it always does say bios not installed. So far I have botted into windows just fine, but my mouse will not be detected.... strange. I am chekcing cmos settings now, it seems to remembereven when I turn it off, however it still says bios not installed...
Update again: I startup my computer, I turned off qucik boot,and now it says "flash recovery"and freezes......help? I got my mouse working by the way before...very strange. I am now gonna resetthe jumper, and then see how things work. I also noticed in theupper left that it says I have bios ver 1.7..... why wouold my bios not be good when it was flashed by msi? Very strange...I reset it and now it freezes at msi logo again lol, reseting again... I believe I have to flash the bios, or that maybethe motherboard is flakey.... idn.Now even when I reset it it will not fix the problem, it just sits at the msi screen.Im anow unplugging all power connectors etc to see ifthat makes a difference and letting it sit for awhile. If I do flash I woulw ant to do it with an older bios, one that I KNOW works, probably 1.2 or something similar. 1.7 seems to have many problems.
Update again: Well, I cant get it to go pastthe stupid msi screen now, and I cant get into the bios..... I might try to do the recovery flash thingsoon, I might have the recovery disk lying around here somehwere......Well I put in the recovery disk, the logo comesup, I press ctrl +home, nothing happens. I tried it at different internvals no effect. This really really sux... did they flash it wrong or something?........I dont think the cpu is bad becuase it booted twiceinto xp just fine, fast and normal. However now I get nothing....
I getthe error message on d bracket: Bottom attempt: this will set low stack and boot via INT 19h
HELP JOCKO! or anyone else! Im stumped.
