FYI: Motherboard won't allow booting to get to the bios screen.
Hello,
This information might be of help to someone so I am sharing the problem I had. In June 2017 I bought 2 ea MSI 990FXA MB's and 2 ea AMD 8370's, it was such a sweet deal and both my son (13 years old) along with myself ( not telling my age...) needed an updated system. For some reason, one day last week my system just stopped booting up to the bios screen. Just had a blank screen yet powered on and the CD's just blinked. Never gave any display on the Monitor. No beeps or anything. After a number of attempts resetting the cmos, it finally reset and then booted up. Worked fine for a few days then the same problem came back. Swapped the battery but still couldn't even reset the cmos. Tried the memory and same results. So swapped everything from my son's MB onto mine and same result. His worked fine with all the components off mine. Fortunately MSI has a 3 year warranty so it is going to warranty repair with an RMA.
So in my inability to wait with out a PC, plugged back in the old spare dual core and MB. Back up and crawling....I would say running but this set up was much slower then I was used to. Yeah, spoiled I know.
OK, so found a good deal on a combo ASUS Prime X470 with a Ryzen 7 2700 3.2GHz and of course had to buy the G-Skill TridentZ RGB series 32GB DDR4 3200. This new stuff looks really cool by the way. The plan is when the MB comes back from MSI, my youngest son (11 years old) will be getting this replacing his Intel i7 940, that CPU still rocks for it's age.
