Since I built my pc in Jan last year, I cleaned it many times but never reapplied the thermal paste on CPU.
While playing GTA V since few days, my CPU temps were reaching 100C and staying between 98-100C So I decided to apply thermal paste.
My mobo has a nasty screw on bottom right, which is stuck with the holder that we place between mobo & the case.
I removed the mobo from case, but the screw and the holder stayed together, so I tried to remove using a plier and screw driver.
While doing so, I scratched one of the lanes on the backside of the mobo. I didnt realize it until the pc refused to start.
The position of scratch is behind the front panel pins(where we plug the power, reset, hdd led etc)
I feel I have damaged one of the power up lines. Any easy solution? or do I have to send it to service center? pics - Motherboard damage 2015-10-15 - Album on Imgur
