    once upon a time, my computer ran just fine, but I decided to upgrade the stock CPU cooler...

    bought a Corsair H80i. installed it. barely fit. won't boot.
    I get Error 20 on the motherboard; no display.
    I am using miniDP from GPU to U2410f. nothing.
    tried HDMI from GPU and mobo... still nothing.

    found a post on an Asus forum about same error with H100i.
    suggestion was bent pins. checked have none.
    over tighten screws. tried loosing, tightening. nothing.
    try one stick of ram. tried with 1 and none. nothing.

    I removed the H80i and returned to stock Intel cooler. It, also, gets error 20 now. :wallbash:

    any ideas?
    system specs are in my sig.

    That's a RAM error if my memory serves me rightly.

    What do you mean that it barely fit? It fits fine if you install it properly. Check around the mounting holes for any signs of damage to the PCB itself.
