Hey everyone, I’m dealing with an MSI X99S SLI PLUS board that won’t boot. The CPU is a Core i7 5960X, RAM is 32GB Trident Z RGB, and the main BIOS shows a monitor output but nothing in the secondary bios. When I pull out the RAM stick, I see a “CPU or MEMORY CHANGED!!” screen with F1 or F2 options, but pressing them does nothing—F1 locks the numlock and the light stays still. I’ve tried basic fixes like reseating CPU, RAM, cables, clearing CMOS, removing the battery overnight, etc. It seems to be a BIOS issue, and I’m not sure if M-FLASH Utility works here. The AMIBOOT.ROM and Ctrl+Home functions aren’t helping either. Anyone have any ideas on how to recover this board?
