A word of caution - when mounting the heatsink to the motherboard, be careful not to scratch the mobo. If it gets scratched too bad it will also auto-shutdown the computer.

Sounds like you have experience with this It's ok I have a much more embarassing story. Forgot to put thermal paste on my heatsink. CPU fused to it, while inspecting the problem I decided to reseat all the parts. When I got to taking off the heatsink off, ripped the CPU right out. Pins looked fine but the motherboard... not so much.
