The problem is that is like that the cpu cooler mounting clips is to big for the plastic thing..

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 10, 2013

the bulider of ur computer did not install it properly it should fit exactly

tiger138 · Aug 10, 2013

Is it hard to take of remount the cpu cooler?
And do i need a esd-armthing

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 10, 2013

U dont need anything else than a screwdriver and its not that hard

tiger138 · Aug 10, 2013

Ok i got i loose now because it looks like its to big for th mount.
When i reattach it it still to loose. I wonder can you use a spacer ore something like that to get it stuck?

edit
Which of the 2 holes should i use the inner ore outher hole for the screws?

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 10, 2013

Can post some pics???

tiger138 · Aug 10, 2013

There you go.I did change the it to the innern screw hole on the pic

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 10, 2013

Look mate
I wud suggest u to take the motherboard out and then unscrew it all and then reassemble it

tiger138 · Aug 10, 2013

I Think i have fixed it now. I dident chrash in win 8 performance classification.It did do that last time i did run it.
