Hang around a pc repair shop and ask questions. Most people who work there [like me] will gladly help you out and show you how things are done.
Beyond that, the cardinal rule about computer electronics is that "forcing is bad", meaning if you have to force something into a socket with an uncanny amount of force, chances are that you're not doing it right. [Especially CPUs]
Also, if a part comes with a manual, read it. Start with the motherboard/cpu manual and work your way up from there.
