    Hi Seris,
    sounds like the fiberglass resin has been chipped off around one of the standoff screw holes. you maybe able to see which one it is and use a rubber or fiberglass washer on that standoff.

    Pay close attention to the mounting points on the case, and compare these to the motherboard mounting holes. Usually there are 6 mounting holes in a motherboard. Older full sized ATX motherboards had 7 or 9 holes. If you have a condition like Red1776 mentions, leave that screw out or remove that case standoff. You are using the little brass standoffs?
