Computer Booting Up Problem.

[PaincakesX]

Just got my RMA motherboard from MSI today, it is the Z97 Gaming 7. Plugged everything back into place, and then I booted it up for about 10 seconds before it turned off then back on and off, etc. I do not know what the problem is. It really cannot be the mobo since I just got it, unless MSI quality control is garbage. Every component in my system is still the same even before I RMA my mobo. The only problem I can think of is a bad BIOS. However, I can't flash a new one if the board doesn't response to me pressing and holding the delete key. Also the post codes stops around 40 to 50ish, I could not really see since it was going by way to fast.

 

Please help, thank you.

Did you try only one stick of RAM/no video card? Does it boot into the BIOS with no drives plugged in?

Yeah I have tried one stick of RAM and only one of my 970. Still nothing...

I tried that too... still nothing.

 

Going to try and pull the battery from the mobo. Hopefully that will work.

Ok, it works now. I had to pull out the battery, waited for about 2 minutes, then plugged it back in. I thought that pressing the clear CMOS button on the back of the mobo is the same thing. I guess it is not.
