Having not built a new system in several years, decided to go crazy and build something new, probably is, having problems getting the processor tray to close properly.

I've did some checking and found I'm not the only person to have had this problem, this is basically the result I am getting...

I know a bit of pressure is needed, but I'm almost certain that I'd break the damn thing if I tried that hard to get it down.

It's a i5 2500k processor and an Asrock H61M-VS motherboard (yes I know, I should have went for something that's overclockable but right now I just want the system running before I decided whether or not overclocking is a necessity).

Could it be my ineptitude or a problem with the board itself?

Tried that, no luck. I am certain that the processor is properly in place as the notches match up.
