It is quite odd but thus far that's the direction the tests are pointing at, what I think is happening is that when the CPU fan is seated and locked in place it's putting too much pressure onto the CPU possibly creating a short in the system. If that's the problem then I came up with a solution for it which would be to make a shim out of electrical tape and placing it with the adhesive side facing up under each corner of the plastic parts that help hold the CPU fan in place. As long as I can get it to a point where the pressure on the CPU is reduced but is still in contact with bottom of the fan then it should work, in theory.
