I have a bewildering problem with the above-mentioned M2 card on a X670E Crosshair Extreme...
On page 2-19 of the manual for the Crosshair, it shows how to remove the screws so the covers come off. I was able to remove the cover on the side with 3 screws, and installed one M2 in that side.
But On the side with 2 screws, they just turn and turn with a fair amount of resistance, but they will not come out no matter what I try, and I can't get the cover off. So I can't install my second M2.
I verified that the inner sockets under the cover are not turning along with the screws, and I verified that I'm using the correct bit size and nothing is 'stripping' the head of the screws either.
Seems really silly, I can't figure out what I could be doing wrong, or if it is somehow defective (screws stripped at the factory?).
Does anyone have any guidance on this?
Thanks!
