Why? Loads of PC issues are software based, and usually hardware ones are easy to fix. This issue is also simple to fix, its just something shorting out.

Do I really need to justify what I wrote.

Stepy lost a Gigabyte motherboard and his TV over the past couple of months to what we suspect is dodgy mains. Normally we'd put it down to bad luck, but he had heating engineers in pulling his floor up and fitting a boiler recently..
That is the extreme end though, I still think that the cooler isn't mounted correctly. I mean it all began with the cooler....

right iam back with a new board and cpu they tested my old board and cpu and it was borked i also bought cooler master 932 advanced case. in my gut i have a feeling it was the overclock i did i also think the other board was dodge to start with because the temp in the asus monitor software were 10c less than core temp software and this new board the asus software monitoe matches the core temp software. ifeel scared to try to overclock again just in case so maybe just leave the cpu the way in came for now at 3.7mhz

If your CPU came at 3.7MHz I think that one needs a return too
But no worries, tbf, if it was a dodgy board then it was hardly your fault or anything to do with overclocks.
yea cpu is 3.3 stock with out be doing anything the board has auto set to 3.7
the other board was the same

You want to justify then?

guys? WHY do you have to remove the middle rubber/foamy part from the backplate of the NH-D14???
omg, omg, omg because i didn't when i installed it on my maximus iv extreme-z (lucky because i'm not really at home atm, i haven't used the computer for more then an hour since i built it) but can you please tell me why this is a problem? it seems to have installed just fine, (but then again it was my first build, so i am a noob :S)

If memory serves then you have to on 1366 to clear the metal support plate under the socket. Otherwise it doesn't sit flat and when you tighten up the U brackets on the other side it would either bend or the board would warp.
On 1156 and 1155 it's probably different of course. You may not need to remove anything.
Let's assume you're being a bit spiteful and conceited.
Every one has made a mistake at some point, and every one has been stumped. That's computers.

I would hope that you might be able to better diagnose a problem if I were paying for your services, or would you just post my problem here. I can do that for free.
You only need to look at his recent posts, you tell me if this is the sort of person you might reccomend as a computer repair guy. Or would you invest your hard earned cash in this guy building a PC for you. What if you had a problem with thatt PC how do you know if he can fix it for you...

Well, as I said, we all make mistakes. To be brutally honest it's not my money he's burning nor my computer he's fixing so it's not really for me to judge, just try and help (if I can be bothered and have the time to, which ATM I do).
I've made some real howlers over the years, trust me on that. Built my first system that needed the 4 pin AUX for the CPU. Bought a psu that didn't have one, ended up swearing loudly and throwing said PC across the room. Then when I calmly sat down and read the manual I realised my mistake. Built a RDRAM system, got one stick of ram as was the norm then, refused to fire. Needed to be pairs and CRIMM modules to fill all slots..
Bought a Celeron D machine to use for the net etc, didn't realise they had switched ATX to 24 pin, didn't realise it would fire from a 20 pin providing rail ampage was enough, ended up cutting apart and old ATX plug and extending that onto the existing one for 24 pins (you can do it, but as I said it doesn't make any difference).
Sure enough, still wouldn't fire

There's like two little notches on the back of the motherboard I think, god it hasn't even been that long since I built it and I've forgotten haha
And also, if I can't find a product when I'm at work, do you think the manager tells me to take off my badge and go home? Building, owning, running and maintaining a PC is an experience, there are literally millions of things that could go wrong with a PC, how you expect anybody to know them all, and how to fix them, is beyond me.

I would suggest getting a volt meter and checking each line and make sure the correct Volts and Amp's are being sent from the PSU, Sounds like a PSU problem to me, What make is the PSU?, Thermal shutdown is often the cause of death of PSU, It's been very hot the past few days, Your new rig will draw more Amps which means more heat, Higher Load draw + Sun = death.
