Answer» everything on this new build starts up and w/ new video card seems to work
new psu workng
power swith on case turns it on ? not off
have to manually turn psu switch off to shut down
this is my 3 rd time trying on this one
get the green & orange light on the mobo
have tried taking battery out before. only thing i can THINK of is one screw is not in the standoff on mobo (short) >> >?
REVISED* I am getting help from a member as we speak, emails....
this suc_ks!!! oh well another try tomorrow ...........(Sunday)
RMA'd It has got to be a dead- PCI-E #(1) slot......... tried 2 working monitors & Nvidia graphic cards oh well ......... Is this the same board the standoffs got mashed on ? ?
If so I'm thinking you might want to use fibre washers on both sides of each post on the MBoard and tighten it down with about 10% of the torque you used the first time...
Whose PSU did you buy for this and are you running a PCi/e vid card ? ?
As to the power ISSUE you might try REVERSING the header 1 connectors as the polarity may be backwards.
Keep in mind also the driver setup for this board even though it's a nice one is not up to PAR...i had to re-install both the NIC and onboard sound drivers 3 times each before i got any joy joy...
You would think that for this nice of a board they would have at least gotten that part right.
LET me know.
p.s. When i contacted MSI about the driver issue to let them know how miffed i was they must have been aware of the issue as they offered a full refund without putting up too much of a stink.Quote from: patio on April 29, 2007, 08:40:24 AM Is this the same board the standoffs got mashed on ? ?

( same board - 2 bad screws (stripped & like 4 standoffs i have to pull out from the case panel) no mobo damage ................
PSU is the apevia 680 iceberg (powers everything up nicely)
gpu is msi 8800gts powers up nicely
I got an RMA from newegg. im done messing with it... after 2 newer monitors & 2 working graphic cards, my conclusion is a bad pci-e slot... other reviews on the net pointed to this.. no bad lights or beeps , just no video signal....
I'm sticking with the same board though, I put the pent 650 in my emachine with the 7600gt.... I'm saving up for the e6600 too cheap to pass by now.The 6600 is a real screamer...it's the first build i've done in awhile where i almost didn't give the Customer his machine...
