!!HELP!! Potential MSI Z370 Failure

So I bought a new system today: 

Intel 8400 

MSI Z370-A Pro 

Coolermaster ML240L 

Phanteks P400 

Thermaltake TR2 S 650w 

8GB Corsair Value RAM (DDR4) 

WD Blue 2tb 

 

There's no discrete GPU as this is not a computer for gaming, but rather just come cpu intensive tasks for which the integrated graphics will do. 

 

I go to turn it on, it posts and goes to the 'no boot device detected' screen - which is normal, there is no OS yet. 

 

I do it once more - NOPE. No display. Black screen, no signal detected. Welp, maybe the bios disabled integrated graphics?

 

I put in an old gpu with DVI out and yay, I get a signal, however, when I enter the bios, it's not right [photo1] (according to what it should look like in the manual). 

 

From there, I attempt to use the small section of the bios available but it just gets worse [photo2]. 

 

I reset the bios settings to default, cleared the CMOS, put the ram into different slots, even attempted to update the bios: 

It booted into the m-flash system thing, displayed 'm-flash     CPU 39 C / 102 F' for like 1 frame (1/60th of a second) then shut down the whole system. 

 

I'm very pressed for time and am unable to take the motherboard back to the place I bought it (because it's so far away).

Literally any help would be greatly appreciated!

The BIOS was simply too... broken to even find out the version. I did download the latest one and attempt to install it, but there were troubles as outlines in the original post
