MSI Xpower Gaming Titanium AMD X370

OK, so I got the board, everything is hooked up and when I start it goes straight to 0d.

~~I read I should flash to BIOS 1.1, but the download is not available on the MSI website (File not found)~~
~~https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/X370-XPOWER-GAMING-TITANIUM.html#down-bios~~

~~Direct link: http://download.msi.com/bos_exe/7A31v11.zip~~
Seems the file is back up now

I am pretty much stuck now, disconnected all SATA and the m.2 card.
Tried one and both memory (2x16GB LPX Vengeance Corsair 3000MHz)

Any other tips?

p.s. this BIOS works:

Flashed via USB FLASHBACK+

Check your cpu socket on the motherboard to see if any pins are bent.

The m.2 Samsung got detected and is just listed under storage as a boot option, not as SATA, nothing else is connected.
I use a USB stick to install Windows 10 64bit to it now, it detected the 1TB disk fine.

p.s. rough start, but I went from this:

to this:

Nothing tuned whatsoever.

What I would try

Try disconnecting all drives, it should then at least go to the state A6 (seaching for SCSI) and you see something happen on the board.
Try the memory in different banks, You start with the DIMMA2, then DIMMB2, then DIMMA1 and DIMMB1. Use only one DIMM in DIMMA2, then two to test
Turn off the power supply between checks.
See if anything changes.

I got plenty of lights on mine and an error code (0d), but no BIOS on the monitor.
There are LED for successful detected memory, LED for successful detected GPU, check the manual.

Get the BIOS from the link above, format a memory stick with FAT32, put the file onto it and rename it to MSI.ROM, plug it into the rear USB where it says FLASHBACK+, connect power to the CPU(Type4, like PCI-E at the top) and the Motherboard (the big one), turn on the powersupply, press the FLASHBACK button at the bottom right for maybe 1-2sec and then WAIT.
First nothing happens, then the button and the FLASHBACK+ USB port blinks slowly, maybe 3min later it blinks more rapidly, another 3-5min and it turns off.
The system will try to boot afterwards.

Some feedback to the new BIOS from MSI. 1.4 from 2017-04-11

I could boot the memory on 2400MHz and 2667MHz, it would not boot on 2933MHz with neither profile from X-AMP (whatever those are suppose to do).

However, with 2667MHz or 2400MHz I experienced my first system freeze since I installed the board (after some 2-3 hours of running not just the game/applications, but the screen and system just froze, still showing the last frame). So I am back to default 2133MHz for my DDR4.

No improvements here.

1.61 now 27/04/2017 no improvements.
