Make sure the PCIe cables are fully connected, both at the GPU and at the power supply. For most cards, they'll say they have signal even if the GPU isn't powered on or anything. All the "Signal Detected" message means is that both connections are plugged in fully, it doesn't really eliminate all possibilities. Also try a GPU reseat if the cables were fully connected.

 

EDIT: Are any of the Debug LEDs (top right corner of the motherboard) lit up? That could indicate if something is wrong.

OK, the boot LED is one of the weirder ones to diagnose. It basically means your CPU, RAM, and GPU are (almost) certainly fine, leaving the issue to be with some other component in your system. 

 

The first thing I would do would be to Clear CMOS. You can either remove the battery, or while the motherboard is receiving power (the PSU is connected and power switch is on, but the system isn't trying to boot) short using any piece of metal (knife, screw driver, penny, etc.) the two pins labeled "Clear CMOS" or something like that. MSI likes to label things weirdly and I forget exactly how they label that header, so you'll probably need to consult the manual. There might also be a button to do that, but again, consult the manual to be sure. Once the CMOS is cleared, try booting the system up. 

 

Once you've cleared the CMOS, if the system still isn't booting, start removing everything that isn't necessary to get into BIOS. Disconnect SATA cables, other PCIe cards, M.2 drives, everything that isn't the GPU, RAM, CPU, PSU, PSU cables, and power buttons. This does include USB devices as well, the only thing connected to the computer should be that HDMI cable and the power cable. If none of that works, then it's time to use BIOS Flashback to update the BIOS. Follow the instructions in the manual for how to do it, it should take about 5 minutes to do.

Forgot to add, it still could be your GPU isn't connected all the way. If the card wasn't connected all the way, it would try to output video from the iGPU. If no display output was detected, a lot of motherboards will get stuck at the boot LED. I'd do the Clear CMOS first, but reseating your GPU is still probably a good idea, or try to get the system to post on the iGPU by itself.

I have no more boot problem because i installed windows and now i will try to dowload the drivers then if it doesnt work i will remove and put back the gpu but thanks
