Hello all,
I am doing a build and on boot i receive 5 short beeps on my MSI Gaming 970 motherboard. When i checked the MSI support website i saw that 5 beeps was a bad processor with the AMI bios. I have tried removing the memory which does a continuous beep. I have removed the video card which does 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. I had re-seated all of the components and still get the 5 short beeps.
I did an RMA on the processor and the new one showed up today. I installed it and still get the 5 short beeps.
Did i get another bad processor or is the motherboard bad?
