when i turn on my computer, my computer loads up ram and then goes directly to the system bios screen where it gives me a bios dialog box: "The system case or cover has been opened or removed. Please check the system." This is given when the case is closed. When I turn it off and take the cover off and put it back on, it gives me the same message. The computer will not pass this screen and I don't know what to do.

Before this message happened, I had turned off my computer and opened the case to screw in a screw a bit tighter for my usb 2.0 pci slot card, then when i put everything back on, it gives me this message.

suggestions?
 
K, so lemme understand this.

Computer says "you openned the case".
You then open the case and reboot.
Computer then says "you oppened the case".

Maybe the error would go away if you DIDN'T open the case?

Also, yeah, just disable chassis intrusion in the BIOS.
 
there's no chassis infusion thing in the system bios, at least not where i was looking, i use phoenix award bios setup utility.

as for the jumper, i'll look around for that.

that's weird though, i didn't move the jumper around at all.
 
There should be a chassis intrusion header on the motherboard that is used for a case switch to determine if the case is open. If there is no switch the put a jumper on the header. The only thing I can think of is if you tightened the screw too much and caused something to short. I can't imagine that would happen, though, unless something else was already messed up.
