Heres one for you that has got me totally stumped....
Lets start with the mobo. The bolts that hold the CPU down for the WB. 3 out of the 4 bolts read 12V if I turn the system on the other reads nothing. Now when I have the WB on the bolts not touching the CPU the WB picks up some of the voltage and it drops down a lot lower to under 1V, but the CPU isn't seeing it since its not touching it. Now I did hit the CPU when I was reading this high voltage and it shut the system down right away. It took me a while before I realized this.
Next I took the board out put rubber washers on the back side of the mobo. Well im still picking up a little voltage, yet the system will boot with the WB touching the CPU. Yet I'm picking up a .1V on WB, bolts and about half of that on the socket bracket itself.
Now might I ask wth is going on? On the back of the board I found minor scratches but there shouldn't be anything around the socket holes anyways so why would it even do that? I Can read anywhere from a little under 1V to .1V which im sitting at roughly right now. I'm totally dumb founded on this unless the actual holes for the bolts are compromised and leaking voltage I can't figure out whats going on.
Anyone else have something similar? Asking anyone with a DMM to see if they could measure the voltage on theres. Just curious if there is a leak somewhere on my board, if its typical to have a little of something this and no one really notices it, or if its even considered safe. Not even sure how long I've had this issue, but so far its been running no issues.
