Thanks for the answers.
The reset button's light being the HDD led that's definitely new for me, lol, and there was me thinking in a short. I don't have a lot of experience building systems, actually this is my third one but coming from ASUS boards I've never seen this before.
I tried to loose the screws of my cooler a bit, but nothing happened, so I switched to BIOS 2 and flashed it following the same procedure I explained in the...pure garbage thread..this time I did not play with the memory, so for now they are just in auto mode, I'll keep it like this a few days to check the system's stability.
Now, if the system is running with BIOS 2 I guess that an over tighten CPU wasn't the issue. I think the next step is try to recover BIOS 1, I'll appreciate any advice for doing this.
