well, i finally got my computer to post, lol... the cpu fan was on too tight and was shorting it apparently... well, shorting it the first time..
my new problem is that everything works outside the case. as soon as i put it inside, it shorts again. even when i just sit the mobo over the risers/spacers it shorts.. i'm starting to think it's got something to do with the I/O shield in the back...
if it is something on the bottom which is touching the case, however unlikely, how might i fix that? can i line the inside of my case with something?
if it is the I/O shield, is it horrible to just leave that off? lol... improved ventilation? XD
thanks a bunch guys
