Suddenly not booting with all cores enabled

   Here is a gallery of photos of CPU and temperatures of some components of VRM in Celsius (if I'm not measuring the right thing, please let me know):

CPU substrate is not bent (after I read some post, I was afraid it could be, but luckily it's not), nor there are any visible burnt or bent pins, or at least I don't see any yet. When I reinstalled everything, it's still the same, it only boots with max 3 cores enabled in BIOS.

	As to my skills, I have masters degree in electrotechnics and my job is to program (and sometimes help design) embedded systems, but I'm mainly programmer and this is my first build in years, so I do not know how exactly some things on motherboard / in CPU work or what the "normal" state of components / values should be. On the main page it says 3500 MHz. CPU Config page: Target CPU / Cache / BCLK speed 3500 MHz / 3900 MHz / 100 MHz Memory speed 2133 MHz FCLK 800 MHz everything else Auto, everything is default nonetheless CPU Microcode revision: 506E3 74 As to the cooler, I think I'm not over tightening it - it doesn't have normal screws, only some plastic holders and I'm trying to fixate it there as gently as I can.
