Then next thing I know, my system doesn't POST because the motherboard is dead (despite the moving fans and USB ports working). Not sure if I shocked it or wrecked it when I tried inserting the wrong screws to the standoffs. Now I gotta RMA that shit and shell out more cash for a temp motherboard. God damn.

It could be SO many things. For instance with my Ivy Bridge CPU, it wouldn't work in any motherboard I tried it with.. I thought I had a dead CPU, which would have been a nightmare since I would miss deadline. Turns out, there was a piece of heatsink paste (the thick kind that comes pre-mounted on heatsinks) stuck to the bottom of the CPU. It was blocking a few pins, so it wouldn't boot.
It could be anything, especially when you have spinning fans, etc
