I recently ordered a motherboard the asus m5 a97 r.20. I recieved it with a broken plastic clip with a spring on it that holds a metal piece to the motherboard. on this picture here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5643744&SRCCODE=WEBGOOPA&cm_mmc_o=mH4CjC7BBTkwCjCV1-CjCE&gclid=CPr_6ZqQ_7sCFQbl7Aodri0Afw it is the top left blue block and one side is not fastned tight. Is this a huge problem? would it stop it from working? I cannot get this motherboard to show anything to the screen. I was thinking it woudlnt effect it from working, but I am a noobie at building computers. I added 4 patriot viper xtreme ddr3 4GB for ram, and a fx 9370 4.7 ghz max turbo, 4.4 ghz base processor by amd fx 8core, and a radeon hd 7750 core edition.2gb ddr3 . Kind of sad I cant get it working yet. Im hoping its just that pin. So anyone who can help me in any way I do appreciate it. I dont even know what that blue metal part is. I am thinking maybe a heatsink part. you can contact me on here or by email at wordup@live.com, thanks. oh ya I am trying windows 7 with sata 1tb drive. I installed it on the hard drive first to make sure its working. Maybe i should format it again.
