i was about to flash my bios to latest from 13.3 to 13.5 due to unexpected reboot anytime i load a game with intention to fix the problem. i downloaded the latest bios and loaded it on a formatted flash drive. when i click ok my entire system froze immediately with no progress in updatng the BIOS. When i restart i get a code sequence of 19,FF,2b,F2,F9 and NO POST! afterwards it would just restart and cycle the same codes. I have never overclocked and i did all diagnostics such as reset the cmos and battery, reseat and tried 1 stick of RAM, reseeat CPU and still NO LUCK. Please help solve this issue as it seems something went wrong upon trying to update the BIOS. Is there a way to reset back or is the board dead

Yes i only purchased it a week ago. Funny thing is it was having issues before all of this happened! Everytime i load a game it would reboot so thats when i attempted to flash but with no luck.

It's situations like this that scare the hell out of me and why I won't bother flashing unless it's absolutely necessary and even then I'm apprehensive. I'd say to try and contact MSI directly and see where that gets you. If not, RMA the board and call it good.

Thing about it is.... I had an Asus before all the parts listed above brand new system build and the board kept restarting on windows logon so i RMA'D it and got this one. This board worked fine and booted but i cannot run any games or multpile videos because then my pc just randomly restarts. I tried updating the bios and then this happens.... SIGH:na:
 


Then one more reason to RMA it.
