How come I can't get my motherboard out?

I have an Enlight 7237 case, with an ABit BF6, I'm trying to remove the board so that I can figure out why it's shorting out with the PCI card bracket scews in. The only problem is that the board is stuck for some reason. I double checked that I took all the screws out, but it won't budge. I'm afraid to use too much force in fear of cracking it. It bends and flexes when I pull on it. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
Hmmm.. Could you have missed the screws/bolts that secure the processor retention mechanism? I tend to forget about those sometimes.
 
nope, I even got those🙂

That board kinda feels like something in the center is holding it, but I can't figure out what it is.
 
i believe that you can unscrew the motherboard tray on that case. try taking it off and then see if you can remove the motherboard from it.
 
Check if there is a plate around the serial/parallel/keyboard sockets... to remove the motherboard you have to first remove all the screws (these are actually sockets) around the serial and parrallel ports as these screws hold the motherboard in place.
