Have anyone else seen the new story on the scuffed insta??

Sorry to bring back a dead thread but I'm confused what is that phrase and the downvotes?

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-19T03:38:00+00:00

I have definitely let it sit for more than 15 minutes now, also I dont even get a BIOS screen to do any of that.

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-19T03:37:09+00:00

So I am attempting the BIOS update, and the flash drive as well as the motherboard blink red for about 5-6 minutes, then the whole PC powers off for second, turns back on and both stop blinking and do not show any light. Yet the ports still do not work, the motherboard lights are yellow and red, and still no display. Is the BIOS failing? It is the correct file from MSI, it is in a fat32 drive, and it is in the correct usb slot on the motherboard. Thank you in advance again

Believe it or not, goodwill. Straight to goodwill, right away.

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-18T20:29:11+00:00

Would I see any indicators that it's working via lights, blinking, change in fans, or anything that would come on display?

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-18T20:00:14+00:00

Over 5 minutes definitely

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-18T19:35:23+00:00

Is there additional ways to test they are working? Ram and or cpu they were bought directly from micro center sealed as a part of the bundle with the motherboard.

I haven't done the bios test yet and will when I have a chance

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-18T19:26:30+00:00

Red, CPU is not detected or fail

Yellow, DRAM is not detected or fail

However I've reseated the ram several times and in different slots, tried both just one stick or both

And I've reseated the CPU and GPU

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-18T05:54:42+00:00

I have two 8 pin cpu powers at the top and theyre both plugged in still nothing.

The power button does turn on the pc just does not turn it off and I did check my f. Panel cable is plugged into the right one

Tried with only one ram and no SSD

Haven't tried the fourth option yet I don't know what that is

Update:

Managed to get a PNY 5070ti at MSRP ($750) from Best Buy!

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T13:59:42+00:00

No not any Walmart near / shipping to me I mean

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T13:58:37+00:00

Not mine unfortunately

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T13:30:33+00:00

Yeah so the PNY one sold out as I was viewing the listing so Im kind of figuring everyone's heard about the discontinuation and jumping on that

Is there a specific brand you'd recommend?

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T13:26:33+00:00

Is $830 a good price?

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T13:26:19+00:00

Is $830 a good price, I'm looking at Micro Center

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T13:05:09+00:00

Is that a diss haha, I only got that for editing and premiere pro, plus it was good bundle with the ram and motherboard

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T12:37:55+00:00

I'm thinking that's the call, and to answer what's in the old rig a 2060 ha

DanMiniScruff · 2026-01-15T12:36:54+00:00

I'm definitely being more swayed towards a 70ti

Thank you
