Hello everyone. I was having some issues with thermals on my FX-6300 and because of this I spent the last hour disassembling my terribly complicated CPU cooler, reapplying the paste, and then putting it all back together. The first time I attempted to boot the PC after this it hung on the MOBO BIOS screen, though after I rebooted the PC it seemed to boot without issue.
What are the chances that I broke something on my MOBO when reassembling the PC? Could I have over-tightened the cooler and messed something up? I did hear a gentle almost "crunching" sound on my last screwdriver turn on the initial install. I loosened it on all four corners by about two screwdriver turns after this all occurred (the re-installation and subsequent boot up). It's one of those coolers where it has a special backplate.
I also changed my SATA cables around, just because I realized I had them in the last slots instead of the first ones.
