Problem with the motherboard not turning on.
Your MSI A320 PRO-VD/S V2 setup with Ryzen 3 2200G is having a problem where the system won't boot unless you remove and reinsert the CMSO cell. This happens repeatedly, which is very frustrating. Could you clarify if you're experiencing this issue consistently or only under certain conditions? Looking for possible solutions to resolve this.
What version of BIOS are you running? If you've upgraded to the latest, try updating to an older release. Please load the default or optimal settings in BIOS—don't clock anything higher. The A320 doesn't support CPU overclocking, and RAM overclocking isn't reliably stable. Your system supports up to 2933MHz RAM, so stay within that limit. According to RAM555789, there could be a faulty CMOS battery or an earthing issue as well.
I haven't attempted overclocking and never adjusted BIOS settings. Could this be related to the old cabinet you used before switching to a new one? How might I address the earthing problem?
Verify the motherboard is securely seated in the case. Ensure all six screws are tight and properly aligned, with an appropriate gap between the motherboard and CPU backplate. Inspect any damaged USB cables or the front USB connector for correct installation. If issues persist, remove all USB devices and power on the system. For electrical concerns, consult a professional electrician. Avoid touching the metal side of the CPU case and refrain from connecting any metal USB drives when the device is active.
