Possible causes from more to less likely:

1. Corrupted BIOS (A bios recovery would solve it but on a MSI board, I don't know how to, but see if a BIOS reset is enough. Try resetting the BIOS following this method: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3338980/update-windows-killed-motherboard.html)
2. Bad PSU (If you're hearing no beeps, seeing HDD LED activity, try a different PSU)
3. Bad motherboard (only after all suggestions fail to solve it)
4. Bad RAM (You've already tried all solutions except trying other RAM module/s)
5. Bad GPU (possible but only after trying everything else... a second GPU would test that possibility)

I'd put my faith on #1 (BIOS reset) a corrupted BIOS can act like a bad PSU and a well done reset...

I'd put my faith on #1 (BIOS reset) a corrupted BIOS can act like a bad PSU and a well done reset usually takes care of that.. if you have reset it with 5 minutes only, try several resets extending the time gradually... full instructions in the thread.
