I have a brand new msi mb that won't post. I've tried everything. I swapped a psu with a known working one. I swapped a hd. I swapped my memory. I installed it in another tower. I installed it without a tower. I have both the 24 pin hooked up and the 8 pin as well. I took off my heat sink/processor to look for damage. Sure enough, there were some bent pins on the cpu socket. I straightened those out and tried it. Same thing. I've installed a few of these in the past and this is the only one that had issues. This one went very smoothly as well. It might have come already damaged. I've done enough reading on this to know it probably wont be fixed under warranty. Anyway. I then cleared the cmos. Finally, I noticed fans, hd, cd rom
etc. all started working, but still, no post. I contacted MSI to see if they could help me with this. They emailed me back and suggested that I try everything I've already tried. I then asked them for the latest bios version for this board and asked them for a web site link and some instructions. They said it was v2.7. I noticed that the version was dated 2010 and that was a little old. So that's why I'm here to see if anyone might be familiar with this board and might be able to help. Down below is all the info on my pc.
