I just have my system put together today. The first problem I encountered was this FF error. I been researching the problem and I come to the conclusion that I cannot find the problem I am asking for help from the forums here. First off is my system specs.


Intel Core i7-4820K Ivy Bridge-E 3.7GHz (Turbo 3.9GHz) LGA 2011 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
PNY VCGGTX7704XPB-OC2 GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card
MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C10D-
Rosewill BRONZE Series RBR1000-M 1000W Continuous@40°C, 80Plus Bronze Certified,Modular Cable Design,Active
Intel 330 Series Maple Crest SSDSC2CT120A3K5 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Cooler Master HAF X - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0 Ports

Now what I have done so far. I have reseated all connecters twice, reseated the processor three times
Reseated the video card and all power cables and pulled out each component to smell each component to make sure nothing has a burnt smell. I am at my wits end here. Nothnig has solved my problem. I also hit the reset button and pulled the battery to reset the bios. In need of suggestions. Also I forgot to add I am not getting any loading on the screen.

Might well be the BIOS, need at least the version where they updated it to support the new 4820K, and these haven't sold all that well, so it may have been sitting with the old BIOS, should be able to contact MSI and look into getting a new BIOS chip, or if you know anyone or a shop that might have an older CPU like the 3820 or whatever, see if you can borrow to flash the BIOS

Seems to me that this chip is not a big seller. I tried all around town to find someone with a older version. To my knowledge I had yet to find someone and everyone charges 60 bucks or higher. Shipped it off to MSI and will wait the 15 day turn around....Last time I buy a board then a chip 6 months later...Thanks for the help guys.
