Got starup issues with MSI P45 Platinum

Ok, so i just bought a new computer, put it together, however, now i can't get the darn thing to work properly.
When i turn it on i get 4 red Leds on the mainboard. But when i press the onboard, Reset button, it fires up as it should, what do i do?

lol what do you expect from MSI?

Thats not really helping me out!

Sorry but I have to agree with apache_lives.
MSI makes some terrible products.
As you just purchased the system, try and return the MSI motherboard.
Replace it with a comparable ASUS or Gigabyte P45 board.

set everything manually, ram to 1:1 and slack timings @ 1.9v and see what happens

 

[tribalroots]

Where do i adjust voltage, cant find it!

 

[tribalroots]

I havent set voltage yet, as i do not know where to do this. However, changing the relations helped out alot. So far, the system has fired up as its supposed to. I wont celebrate yet, not until i've tested it some more and assured myself that its stable. But i seem to be on the right track, finally.

Thx Apache Lives! ;-D

I will, of course, tell you how it all pans out!

 

[tribalroots]

Bummer! :-(

I'm almost there, i can feel it. But, the computer crashes from time to time.
I havent changed voltage on the ram yet, still dont know where to do that.
Does any of you have an idea as to what is wrong?

 

[tribalroots]

Bought an ASUS MB instead, runs smoothly now!
Last time i ever purchase MSI!

Thx, for you trying to help me guys! =)

You all that say MSI ismaking terrible products dont know what you talking about , my friend baught same one installed everything , and everything works 100%. I prefer MSI mobo's , because they perform better in strategy games while the asus is better with First person shooter. I have always baught MSI parts and have NEVER had a single problem
