Tuniq Tower installation issues

I installed a Tuniq Tower 120 on my machine last night, tightened it up really good, put the mobo back in my case, hit the power button and... nothing.

Ended up taking the motherboard and power supply out of the case, and wiring it to boot on my desk. Again, wouldn't post.

Took off the Tuniq, reseated my CPU, did not put the Tuniq back on... and the machine booted like normal.

After a bunch of trial and error I found that tightening the Tuniq too much would cause the machine not to post. I got everything back in the case, got it upright, and with a little bit of loosening of the Tuniqs screws, got the machine to post. Ran it for about an hour, then went to my girlfriends for the night.

This morning I got home, and tried turning it on to run some temp tests while I was at work... and again, it wouldn't post.

What the hell am I doing wrong here? Anybody?
 
Are you using the brass screws? If so, don't over-tighten them.

LoL! I've read about ppl twisting the heads off these screws - they get so carried away... 😀

Also, make sure they aren't running into your case/tray. For instance, if I tighten the screws on my Tuniq until I don't have any threads left, the screws dig into my mobo tray - which I cannot imagine being good for anything, electrically or mechanically!

If you using the plastic push-pins, I don't know what to tell ya!

Um...

What type of CPU are you running, et cetera?
