My new upgrade from i5 2500K

Tried all that. What’s interesting is that my GTX 1070 doesn’t all light up - just a small green LED showing but it’s fans are spinning

First be sure your pensdrive is setup properly with BIOS - as described (perhaps try a different pendrive.)

Then try the following, if not tried before:

Unplug from wall, press power button to deplete residual power but this time remove the battery for 10 minutes - then try and flashback the BIOS again.

If by chance this works leave the memory on defaults...

Only have one USB stick and is quite old. Guess I will have to get a new one and follow your suggested method

May give you some hope with above advice/technique- Clicky

Well I've finally given up after spending a few days resetting the CMOS, flashing & reflashing the BIOS. Followed many methods from here and elsewhere to get my MB to boot but since nothing. So I requested a return form to return the motherboard.

What motherboard will you get next? (Did you unzip the bios file rather then just rename the whole thing

)

I did and haven't decided yet. At this moment in time, I can't be bothered as got to a point where I got too frustrated. No-one's fault but MSI's!!

Yes ultimately MSI's though I did come across a post where a guy had a perfectly working 3600 in his MSI 450 board but then got another 3600 which would only boot 1 in 5 times so there's is something awry between CPU and motherboard.

I was really looking forward to it - especially when playing the latest games without a struggle which my current 2500K is at times suffers from micro stutters.
