clean the cpu - make sure the pins are OK. Remount it properly - apply a thin layer of TiM on the cpu surface ( aluminum heat spreader ) and remount the heat sink properly.

Clean the ram slot and ram both - remount them properly ( if you have 2 ram modules use only one at a time ). Try starting your pc and post feedback

you can touch the RAM and GFX part which is gold coated.. but not the CPU.. if the pins bend your CPU is done for.

Send it for RMA. Don't rely on local vendors to repair it.

RMA is only possible if the product is under warranty but some RMA centers may repair a out of warranty product but this is a paid service and most of time the quality fi these kind of repairs ain't good enough.

@ OP - if you want you can try contacting the RMA providers of the products you have - if the product(s) is under warranty they will repair/replace it for free but if the products warranty period is ended then they will charge you for the repair work.
