When you changed the case out, did you put the standoffs under the board in the right places? One not shorting out on the bottom of the board?
thanks for reply nar i had a problem there couldnt fit all standoff to board as i needed the metal plate of the original case witch case screws are diffrent needed this plate to fit the heat sink so had to sacrifice the motherboard screws but heatsink strews holding it in place ok but board is a little of balance!!! not by to much but is slightly raised on one side could that be the problem?p.s the new case had diffrent screw holes for standoff so had to do a little sacrifice and work with what i had

The motherboard needs a standoff under the holes that have a grounding strip around them
