Well, I purchased an Arctic Cooler and in the process of trying to install it, I think I damaged my motherboard.

Whenever I hit the power button the blue LEDs light briefly, the fans start to turn then she shuts down.

In looking closely at the board I think I detect a crack from one of the heatsink mounting holes that extends into the tracing.

I am looking for a reliable moderately priced MOB that I can overclock to about 3-3.5 GHz. I am currently using aGigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R 775 R with an
Intel Quad Core Q9550.

Any suggestions?

Hi jmig,
I can recommend the ASUS Stryker II extreme.It is fast and overclock a dream.It also has a seperate soundcard/daughterbaord which is a Creative X-Fie card.
