does the I/O shield have 'springs', small cut-outs bent inwards toward the mobo? remove it and lay it on something flat, and straighten them slightly with your thumbs. when refitting make sure it's firmly seated at the edges.

Th I/O plate should "snap" into the back of your case - make sure it's in all the way. The plate also has pieces of metal near the cutouts that act as springs - push the mobo back slightly - the holes should line up.

no harm running without one, but if there's small children about, you might want to move it out of reach of toys and bits of toast
