I was saying that:

1) His Heatsink might not be seating correctly.

2) If he thinks it is and your still having issues then the problem can only be him.

Help the guy out or don't post ffs.

Your post wasn't helpful, therefor you shouldn't have posted it, according to your 'rules'

Please, speak in English or don't post at all.

I called up AMD and told them that the metal part where I stick my screw driver down and push the latches down to lock it in broke off and asked if I could get a replacement. They gladly did so.They also said the heatsink that came with my processor isn't the "regular" type and the new one is going to be easier to install.

I wonder what is "irregular" about yours....got a camera?

well they said that the amd64s don't have a place where you can put your screw driver in there and push the side down so I'm guessing the one that I have is harder to lock in than the regular ones. Also when they asked for a serial number for the fan and told me that the serial number was either supposed to be on the sticker or on the side of the fan. Its not there. I'm guessing its a discontinued fan for AMD64s? O.o

as for my camera. I don't have the software right now. =\
