I have a MSI A88X-G43 for a couple of weeks. I had no video card in it I just had a ethernet nic in the PCI slot. I recently put a MSI r7-250x in the PCIe-3.0 and a wireless nic in the other PCI slot and it would not boot, after some trouble shooting I figured out that I could not have both of my PCI slots in use. I am thinking there is something wrong with the mobo. What do you guys think?

Could it be a PSU watt shortage?

Is the motherboard only a few weeks old?

I would try with just the gpu and shake the computer around gently to see if that causes a crash.. I'm taking a guess that it's possible the problem is being caused by a worn out pci slot but, that will usually only happen on older motherboards that have had heavy gpus in them for a while. to fix tbis you can try to prop up the card with a stick.

Other than that you can try to make sure that wireless card is secured and all the way in place. This may not be the fix but it's a few easy things to try.

Goodluck :)
