Edit: I'm not actually sure if it's electromagnetic interference, but they're for grounding (in general).
Double edit: Most motherboards now have metal rings around the holes where the screws go. If there are metal rings, the felt washers (should be red, if I understood what you were referring to) aren't necessary.
I always wondered what would happen if you removed the CPU while the computer was on. I would have guessed that the computer would just reset and not go past POST or freeze. You say that windows 3.11 was still running? Wow, I would have opened a program to see what would have happened!flynlr said:kinda a build boo boo./
back in 96 or 97 i had a P1 133 running on a board in my test bench . for some damm reason I decided to pull the CPU from the socket, which I did. only after doing so I noticed the power
was still on and win3.11 was still running. so I popped it back in moved the mouse around and all was well. I have never tried to repeat that little boo boo.

Broke off that little clip on the stock A64 heatsink that you're supposed to use a flathead screwdriver on to lock the heatsink in place.
