You said you cleaned it. Did you reapply too much or too little AS5 when you were done?

Trinca's right. Be careful when you're heatgunning your motherboard. Better to err a little on the side of caution. You'll feel really stupid if you bust a cap trying to reflow things.

...Just take that as DIY experience from this guy. sleep.gif

I say dump the washer - they may be a bit too thick and the heat sink not sitting right. What I did was tightened the screws with my fingers, then gave then a slight twist with the screwdriver - not too tight.
