Helping my friend build his computer, basically the standoff just spins around whenever i try to screw it in. I can't remove it, and holding it in place with pliers doesn't make a difference, the screw won't go in either way.
I've heard some horror stories surrounding not having a screw in a standoff, so i want to make sure that they're true, i should NOT boot the computer at all while there is improper grounding on the standoff, correct?
I could get a rubber band and cut it into a small square to insulate the spot and not install a screw into it, but i want to make sure that it's the best possible course of action before i do anything.
Any help is appreciated
