} Can you - or someone else, please elaborate?

Some motherboards use screws to hold them down to the case that have
heads that are larger than the pads they attach to. If you don't put
a rubber, plastic or paper washer under the screw head, and you tighten
the screw tightly, it's possible the head is touching something metal
on the board and causing a problem. In my experience this is unusual,
however.
