I flashed the latest bios from MSI page and now after the bios screen i get an ASCII happy face and a blinking cursor. I then have to hit enter to continue to boot into windows. What is this? I've tried several different BIOS's now without effect.

I've also cleared CMOS and formatted and reinstalled Windows 7. Ran a virus scan, NOTHING. Computer works normally, but i have to hit enter and look at this crappy happy face before going into windows. ANY HELP would be appreciated.

Probably one of MSI's sick tricks. As long as you can boot into windows I guess It's fine. It IS an official BIOS update so MSI probably tried to be more "friendly". Try running a stress test on all of your components and see if any errors come out.
