How to remove the socket retention on the Asus K8V Deluxe?

I removed the black thing already but there is a metal plate at the bottom of the motherboard.

How do I remove that?

I want to install the Zalman heatsink.

Its just stuck to the bottom of the mb with double sided tape, should come off pretty easy.

I removed it already.

I have setup the system already but now I have a problem.

The system is starting up and then shuting down after 3 secs.

Why?

short or cpu contact not right and overheating maybe.

Solved it.

I have 2 x Corsair XMS 3500 rams.

I had put them in slot 1 and slot 3 and the system didn't start.

I removed the ram from slot 1 and the system started without a problem.

Now my ram is in slot 3 only.

Update the BIOS to 1003.12 and put RAMs to 1 and 2 slot. The 1002 BIOS has some wierd bootup problems with 2 sticks of RAM.

You can use the Asus windows flash utility, just be sure that the system in NOT OCed when you do it !

Why remove the back plate when using Zalman CNPS7000? It uses the back plate as attachment for the stand-offs??

yes either use windows utility or simply burn the whole thing on cd it's safer than floppy drives imo.
