I read a few other posts but it seems everyone's problems are a bit different with different solutions so I figured I would post mine. I built a pc and it started up without problems, the mobo worked fine and everything seemed to be in order. I used an older hard drive and to my surprise it had windows 7 premium on it, I did the HP system restore to format the drive and make sure it was clear and the system worked fine for a few hours, I installed drivers and restarted after all of them. I was able to use it long enough to download team fortress 2 and play a little bit of it with my brother. During the game I was noticing a lot of packet loss (which is normal, Comcast screwed us good) and went to get a drink and some food. When I came back my brother was editing something in the registry with the TCP I think. He rebooted it and that is the first time it was frozen on the MSI screen. I tried restarting a few times and got nowhere, then I unplugged and flipped the switch on the power supply and held the power button down for about 15 seconds and got nowhere, then I tried resetting the cmos and got nowhere, I tried running with one stick of ram and it noticed but I couldn't hit f1 or f2 to use the two options it gave me, I tried unplugging the hard drive and still got the same MSI screen I have been getting the whole time. I have absolutely no idea how to get around this, the only thing I haven't tried is take the wireless adapter out and try it that way but it is late as I post this so it will have to wait until tomorrow. I tried to give as much info as possible, if you need anything else let me know, it is late here and I have been at this for two hours so I'm gonna go to bed and check back in the morning. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running:
MSI 970 gaming mother board
AMD FX Black edition hexa-core
Evga 550 G2
GeForce gtx 750ti
Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I wireless adapter
Corsair Vengence DDR3-2100 8gig x2 RAM

Well for some reason this site is giving me problems on all my devices today so I can't reply lol. I tried your guide, which was good, but it didn't help, even waiting 15-20 minutes it won't leave the MSI splash screen. I am trying to find the info I need on msi's site to return it since it is under warranty but they seem to have hidden it well.
