Hi people of tomshardware!
i've been using this forum's information for a long time with reading the post, but this is the first time I actually had to post!
So I'm trying to install my cpu cooler and heatsink and can't! no matter what, two of the push pins don't go in... two of them sit on the motherboard and when I push them they click, but the other two stay like 1 millimeter higher than motherboard and don't completely sit on it.
i rotated the cooler, and those exact two push pins still didn't go in, so it's not the motherboard... but when I take out the cooler, all four pins look exactly like each other and none of them look broken.
I'm frustrated and don't know to do, since my computer turns off after 30 seconds! and I think it's because of the pushpins not being in.
