Homie: This sound like a CPU pin problem?

[GTD]

I have an XP 2100+ processor, and had some weird problems, and an even weirder solution: (it was in an NF7-s). One morning, it wouldn't boot, so I stripped the system to bare MB out of the case, vid, and ram. To make a long story short, it wouldn'y even post unless when I seated the CPU, I kinda shimmed it about twenty thou. (.020") out of the socket. Then, (of course, once I've reattached the HSF), it would boot and run WinXP fine, even did some gaming without a hitch. If I re-seat the cpu until it's all the way against the socket, not even a beep. Seems like it likes the pressure of the HSF retainer to be pushing against the pins. I've replaced it with a 2500+ Barton, so it's just a spare waiting to go to the range ; ) Have any ideas? Also, If I do have to put it down, I have my choices:

7MM Remmington Magnum
.338 Winchester Magnum
7.5 x 55 Schmidt-Reuben
.444 Marlin
12 gauge, single or double barrel
.22 Long Rifle (But you'd never choose that, would you) .357 Magnum .45 ACP

Which would you prefer? Any help will be appreciated.

22 long rifle so it will die a slow death

.50 cal (An M2 or a Barret) will do nicely
25 mm Depleted Uranium leaves a nice hole
120 mm Depleted Uranium Sabot round will pretty much terminate any attempts at a rebuild. Although I would venture a guess that the actual weapon would be hard to come by.
7.62mm M240 or SAW would exert a nice amount of prolonged punishment (as long as you don't overheat the barrel)

I might even have some shorts to prolong the suffering.

!2 gauge, magnum/rifled slug at about 5 yards otta do the trick. Or if you wanna reach out & touch someone, go for the 444 Marlin, let one of your friends tape the CPU to their hat and Play William Tell at about 200 yards.

It almost sounds like there maybe something on one or more of the pins acting as an insulator, be glad to draw a bull's-eye on it for you.

They look clean, any recomendations on what to clean them with? I guess I could try rubbing alcohol.

Actually, the 7 mag hasn't been fired sence I bedded the action, might be a good excuse for a test fire.
