I just recently tried putting together a system using this mb and a amd phenom II X4 955 HDZ955FBGIBOX 3.2 GHz/6 MB L3/125W Processor and I'm having a little issue. I can add 1 stick of 2g memory ddr3 Corsair xms3 1333 9 9 9 24 and it works fine. If I add a second stick it will not boot period. I have swapped the sticks around and even bought additional memory and all the sticks work individually but will not work at all if I add more than 1 stick.

I called MSI tech support and they say the CPU needs replaced. Does this sound feasible or should I look elsewhere for my issues? Thanks for any insight you can provide.

You'll need to manually set the RAM speed/timings/voltage to the manufacturer's specs in the BIOS. It sounds like the RAM is not receiving enough voltage on auto settings to run both sticks of RAM.
