so ok, do a scan… cant hurt, but its probably not it…

 

This just screams motherboard to me still… did you update to latest bios/ chipset drivers?

 

if not, do it.

if yes, return the motherboard, get a different model. cant really recommend any, dont have a lot of experience with them, but after seeing how msi handles bios updates, definitely not msi… 

Ok returned msi got an asus TUF same thing could this be a cpu issue?

So it turned out I was one of the lucky ones bad brand new cpu, so that sucks. But at least I finally have it figured out. Thanks for the help everyone!
