After removing the backing plate and cursing while installing the push pins, everything seems to be okay now. It even boots standing up. Thanks everyone for your help. I guess I just really didn't want it to be the backing plate because it was so much easier to use than those stupid push...
I have remounted the CPU cooler twice already. If something was wrong there, could I even boot into windows? It's not the temps either because on stock settings I haven't seen them go out of the 40s.

I'm having some issues. I changed the PCI-E Frequency on my Pro board to 101 and now there is no display on my monitor. There is no signal going to the monitor. How can I change this setting back if I can't see what's going on? I hope I didn't brick my ATI 4850 . . .
