We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

If you remember my problems from earlier..


anyways, this is where I am at now.

I figured out why my comp wouldn't turn on. For some reason when the "retention mechanism" is pushed fully down ( to lock in place ), I suppose it puts too much pressure or the likes on the CPU, and the computer won't start. Now, if you take it off so the heat sink isn't pushing down on the CPU, the computer starts fine.

PRoblem is, the CPU idles at 150, and the comp shuts off after about 30 seconds.

Intel tech support was a complete jerk to me and told me to look online, when it's physically impossible to basically 'install the mechanism' wrong.. I mean damn, it just buckles in and you push down on the white prongs.

Anyways, any sugguestions? I'm not going to turn my comp on again till this fixed.. don't want to fry the chip.
