OK, it was my second time mounting my block w/ no springs. Looking back I probably tightend it down abit too much. So I boot up but it's stops booting right away (my mobo's LEDs tell me there's a problem w/ the CPU). I start thinking I crushed the core. So I take my tbird out, look at it, nothing seems wrong, put it in another computer, and IT WORKS FINE! So I was happy about that, but I don't know what's wrong w/ my mobo. Could I have damaged the socket? Maybe tightening my block down too much bent the PCB and something broke? Or something totally stange keeps it from working. I'm not going to miss my old mobo at all and I'll have a new NF7-S REV2.0 thursday! But I would like to know what broke on my mobo and how? Any ideas or thoughts?
Once the screws started to get a little snug on the block, I probably went another 3/4 of a turn... too much or no?
