This motherboard I is retarded. I recently got a case switch from a fractal design r4 to a old lian li pc a77f case. Now here's the problem: First, my motherboard has a red cpu_led light that flashed/blinked once and then ten seconds later again with an automatic shutoff. So I took out and in rescrewed and retightened (I tried different levels of strength of tightening) everything. I also forgot to mention I'm using mixed screws to attach my mobo to my standoffs. Some of them came with my fractal design r4 and some are in an old plastic baggie I found deep in my storage. Anyways would this help my problem by replacing all those screws with this?:

Anyways I take the mobo out and put it on my desk and it boots PERFECTLY fine. And yes I tried and checked to make sure all my cables are good. So after 4 times of taking it I do everything slowly, checking each screw to see if it boots, it all worked so well until I gently put my graphics card in. And no its not an issue with the graphics card. Since I needed to use a little force while putting it in, it messed up. So I did the same thing again WITH the graphics card installed on the board. Then when I plugged the cables it got messed up. Now after trial and error, it only boots when its not in the case. And now its giving me a solid red CPU_LED and doesn't even turn off. The buttons or nothing works to turn it off. Unless I take it out of the case. Any ideas? Any more questions? I'm so tired of this board. I can provide a video and pictures of the screws/board/case.
And one more thing, some of the circles where you put your standoff has these metal hemisphere's that go in a circle around or under the standoff screw.. And some of them are missing. Idk how.
