After removing the IHS from my cpu i can´t boot with 2 stickd of ram. After
searching the surface of the cpu I found a little scratch (see pic) on the
upper left corner. What do you think of this ? Is there a solution ?

that scratch should not be effecting anything...are you sure all of your pins are alright?
yes i´ve checked the pins. Today i´m going to try the cpu in another board
just to check.
I know one guy who covered the scratch he made with fingernail polish and it worked. Also make sure your heatsink is making contact or not too tight.
i chipped a corner of the die off a duron 800 and it worked for many months after.
You'll be unlucky if that kills that chip...
GL with getting it sorted.

try the nail polish trick... It also has symptoms of 'too much pressure on the core'. Make sure it has good contact, but don't use clamp-style coolers.

i have no physical problems on the cpu either
so you say it worked with 2GB before you removed the IHS? :stick: Doesn't seem to make sense..
