there are some tim marks on my mobo, and i tried to clean them gently with a microfiber cloth. still no boot.

yeah but it's not am2+. most of my friends here have intel pcs. and the only friend that i know with an am2+ is far away. i can drop by a local store and have it diagnosed for $6 though. but if dad sees me bringing out my stuff he'll wonder and ask. then i'll get scolded.

yep it's out of the case with no extra peripherals attached

Is it your sig rig your having problems with? If so I have just found some pics online that show the north bridge with what looks like a copper back plate, is there any way you migh have shorted the board replacing it?

I'm all out of ideas then mate, I think you'll have to man up and tell your dad, sorry I couldn't help more.

What TIM you using?

If there were TIM marks on the board from AS5 or something along those lines, it is conductive and alas it may have be the problem.

some revews I found about his tim, thermalright chill factor, all stated its non-conductive.

if you look on the second line down in features on that link you posted it does say its non-conductive so i dont think its your tim.

hmm but what about the 4th line in the features?

but if it's not then, i wonder if i had accidentally scratched my mobo by removing the hsfs, without me knowing it.
