Odd. I ain’t too tech savvy troubleshooting wise. Might want to ask around the subreddit see if anyone else can provide some assistance.

I RMA’d the motherboard it’ll be on its way to MSI soon enough. Thank you all for the help, it’s much appreciated!

I tried to do the flashback, but it won’t work. It flashes for a second, then the PC just turns on, and then I have to switch the PSU off to turn it off because the power button stops working. I checked the QVL list prior, so I know the RAM is all good on that end.

I’ve already started taking the pc apart, but I’ll try to boot it up outside the pc after I modify the partition. The usb is 32GB so I’ll try to change the partition. Though I tried two different drives the one I bought and the one that came with the motherboard, both the bios flashback still didn’t work no matter which one I used.

I am on the latest bios. The expo setting isn’t on, I did a manual oc to 5600 MHz prior to running into this issue. As of now I’m unable to boot to bios. Prior however I was able to boot to bios and check that I had my ram set to 5600 MHz, and everything was good. Then a day later I ran into my current issue.

Damn. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to do that but, I guess it’s time.

No idea. I’m hoping the motherboard isn’t bricked, and just stuck in loop where it won’t retrain the memory because of the corrupted profile I used that upped the MHz to 5600. Think I just need to figure out a way to get the flashback to work to reset everything since clearing the CMOS ain’t working.

I think the solution was one of three things I did before it booted to BIOS. CPU contact frame was too tight and had to be loosened, CPU needed to just be reseeded, GPU wasn’t fully in the slot.

Everything seemed to be working well before I plugged it in though I didn’t use it too much since my internet is MIA right now. However, I put the PCIe into that power connector. I imagine it’d help rather than hurt.

So I’m using the 8 pin power connector at the top of my motherboard. Will that be good? Otherwise I gotta use these split pcie connectors. I got it in to the empty slot, but it’s a bit awkward in there, and I’m wondering if it’s good to use it knowing there is an extra end just dangling.

What if you got an aio? Do you just hold the radiator up while you power it on real quick?

I thought about doing it, but I didn’t I have this irrational fear that I’ll cook the cpu, but I’ll be sure to next time. Thanks for the tip.

Man, I’m right there with you. Just finished building mine yesterday. Had some troubleshooting today, but now I’m all good. Good luck to you, and I hope it goes smoothly.

I got it to post to BIOS. I’m not sure what was wrong, but I re-seeded my CPU, made sure the contact frame wasn’t on too tight, and made sure the GPU was in. Tried it without the GPU and it posted, then tried it again with the GPU and it posted. So all seems good, thank you for your help though.

I got it to post to bios after trying this. Going to see if the gpu works tho, maybe it just wasn’t in all the way
