This board has some weird issue that I have no clue on and two people I took it to strip and rebuild couldn't tell me either, all just guess work.
I'd say 6-8 months ago the issue started in that it would not make it to the bios screen, reseating the RAM would sometimes fix it or just multiple restarts and then it would work 100% again until the power was off for an extended amount of time which caused the issue to return. Sometimes it would get stuck on the DRAM light, other times on CPU, rarely on GPU.
Eventually the issue resolved itself and it was working fine again with no issue.
About a month or two back from today, issue returned and nothing I done seemed to work. I took it to a computer shop to update bios, strip the PC, clean and rebuild. This fixed the issue for that day. The next day, issue returned. Took it to another guy to test and he got it working again with his CPU, benchmarked and scores was as expected. I only tested it somedays after this and it worked again for that day only to have the issue again the next day.
Bought a new mobo and sent this one in for warranty claim only to be denied due to a unrelated issue - bent header pin (lol don't buy MSI)
While in for warranty/testing or whatever, they claim it eventually was working again.
I have not tried it since as I got a replacement. Also my timelines and order of events is guess work.
FYI
