Broken pin...

Comment:

The top left cornor ceramic piece broke removing a pin on my K6-2 cpu, it happend while removing the metal plate. The cpu still works, but I have been getting wierd error messages lately, "Missing Operating System", and sometimes when I boot, my pc would halt at the table (lists all devices), I would see a prompt at the top right that has color characters like "À". Could the missing pin be causing this?
