MSI Krait Gaming won't POST anymore!

[PanzerIV]

Hello guys, here's a very high challenge for you as I've got easily 15 years of tech support yet I'm stuck on a damn phone as my computer stopped posting completely right on Jan 1st with every stores being closed, lost a full rare day of gaming, worst new year ever.

 

The issue starts at the link below, as initialy I was trying to overclock my 8600K that appears to be the worst sample ever but it's now the least of my problems. This morning I tryed the suggestion of somebody to use 1.00v for the "PLL OC" voltage instead of the default that is higher than most boards on my MSI, which is 1.20v then I did save & exit and right there the computer wouldn't boot anymore at all, black screen, all fans spinning but the video cars that tries but barely move at all, no light on keyboard and the white led on the mono is stuck at "CPU Undetected or Fail".

 

Usually it would had been super easy and I would have must cleared the damn CMOS but I did and nothing change. WTF how trying to boot once with 0.20v less on the PLL could possibly fry instantly my 335$ CPU?! It just makes no sense, never seen such bs since my first computer 18 years ago (-_-)

 

I'm gonna go buy a spare CPU and board tomorrow to see by swapping hardware what will work and perhaps RMA my board already after just 5 days, to MSI and lose money over shipping, great stuff like my car battery that need to be boosted tomorrow morning so I can get to the store and to work after.

Good luck!

 

I personally wouldn't start overclocking on anything under the default voltage, undervolting and overclocking are kinda like water and oil.

I obviously know that and I had nothing under default than the PLL OC which happened on my board to default at 1.2 cause the guy with the 8700K on another board than MSI said it was 0.9v so 1.0v was suppose to be "higher" and not too low. Also that's for the Uncore part of the CPU from what I've read and I had my CPU ring at stock 3.6Ghz which is less than the Auto mode that would up the ring multiplier to 4.0Ghz. The Vcore was still at 1.35v at 4.7Ghz but anyhow... It still doesn't explain why the stupid board won't reset itself after clearing the CMOS for over 3 hours and therefore put back the correct default values and voltage to boot again.

 

Honestly I'd be so surprise if doing that would have killed in 1 sec a CPU idling at about 20C within one reboot by saving and exiting the bios so it's prolly just the board that bricked itself and can't reset I guess. Still dumb they charge more for this than my 4 years old Z87 MSI but they removed the dual bios so no way to recover the dead one... Time to RMA just cause it won't reset, great.

One of the main reasons I prefer Gigabyte boards, actually.
