I just don't have a suitable screw. Glue won't hold the piece under spring tight pressure. 30ga steel wire wrapping now. Filed a couple of channels on the bottom of the frame.
Whether this is the sole problem of it shutting off or not, it needed to be attended to.

Well, that was it. I'm done.
This is the main machine, the Long Legged Mac Daddy. If it came down to it I could have gone down to the local geek collective to see if they had a proper frame. The frame is a plastic that would rather chip than melt and it screws down to the board. Frames I've seen in the past had those crappy snap ins that tended to be crap. Two wires wrapped around in addition to glue did the trick and while I was in there I took out about a half millimeter where one side of the heatsink band attaches to the frame to reduce the amount of tension required because it was a very tight bond once the lever is is in the proper, fully mounted position.
AHHH a wordsmith !!! :)it was a very tight bond once the lever is is in the proper, fully mounted position.
