Okay first of all: has anyone ever bent the pins on a CPU? The one that I'm talking about is a socket 939, a few were bent I put them back with a knife to line them up and whatnot.
Second: What is a good material to put between a mobo and a case? I tried a brown paper 2 ply sugar bag and that resulted in a WAY overheating of the northbridge chip. will plastic work or just melt? I've seem some plastic things you can get for the screw outlets (I'm more than likly RMA'ing the case so how do I score some of those? Do they sell big bags of case stuff somewhere like screws and clip on speakers and plastic recepticals casue I'd totally buy one!!!)
Last but not least what are some possible causes when a comtpuer will start up and not give you any screen imput (*I have to find my speaker to see if I'm getting any post code but I can't find it right now*)
A big thanks to anyone who can provide comments or answers to any of the following questions!
