Got it up and running last week! New motherboard works perfectly, thanks for all the help guys!

Thanks for the input RickyTick, I'll take a look at that one.

No plans on overclocking, I've never really been a fan of it!

I did end up getting a wrist strap during the first build attempt, but by then it may have been too late. Or one of the parts may actually have been defective, I guess we will never know lol (it was...

OK, first let me say sorry I never gave you a final update. After tons of frustration I decided just to let it go for a week, then I went on vacation for another 2 weeks. I gave in and took what I...

Ok thanks, I'll give them a buzz.

Damn, the new memory resulted in the same beep sequence. I fear this means there is an issue with the processor.

I couldn't find the $69.99 RAM you recommended on Newegg at all, which is bizarre: is it possibly the model that is $61.99?

Unfortunately because time is of the essence and this has taken me long...

I ended up not calling MSI just because I figured we had narrowed down what the problem is. As for the first 3 beeps, they are indeed evenly spaced, the last one is simply at a slightly different...

I'll be at work, but I'll be able to check these boards every now and then. Thank you for the help, I'll check out that thread!

Here is the one they actually sent me: I'm annoyed because the price is $33 for 4gb, yet I paid $70 for the one I wanted. http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BLT4G3D1337DT1TX0

It...

Well, this is interesting: it does indeed say BLT2KIT4G3D1608DT1TX0 on my shipping receipt order. However, on the sticks themselves, it says : BLT4G3D1337DT1X0.16FM

If that is a discrepancy in...

Here is the link to the calculator, looks like it should be compatible. http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=14445B82A5CA7304

I didn't use the calculator ahead of time (probably...

No dice with trying 1 stick at a time in DIMM1 (I actually ended up trying up each slot with each stick individually as a shot in the dark prayer). I guess I'll have to call MSI tomorrow to see if I...

Hi zburns-thank you so much for the help. I have been really tied up the last 2 days and unfortunately haven't been able to work on my PC or respond here as much as I would like. I have to go out yet...

So looking at that, do you think it's mainly a BIOS problem then?

I've found nothing so far except that it uses ClickBiosx2 unfortunately. I will keep looking but I don't see anything about the supplier yet.

That is correct for the beep sequence.

I ordered mine from amazon, it was not open box though.

Yes, there are actually 3 beeps total just shortly after it is booted up: 2 of the same pitch and one slightly different. About 3-5 seconds after that after the fans all start going and the...

I did try the other monitor, and it didn't work so it confirms my problem. As for assembly, I actually have been following Rob's the entire time - the first boot was as far as I got with his before...

Here are pictures on photobucket- not the best quality but I think you can see what I'm talking about with the PCI-E plug....

The PCI-E and P3 plugs are actually as I suspected- power supply goes into PCI-E, more wires come out of PCI-E and go into P3. What is the reasoning for this? Ill try and upload a picture for you if...

I won't be home from work until later in the afternoon to confirm what you have said unfortunately. However, I could SWEAR that the wires for P3 were indeed coming out of the PCI-E, but maybe my eyes...

Ok, I can't find anything that says cat # on the box but...I believe the S/N is 1112231461007648. Here is the direct link to it on amazon, where I bought it:...

Sorry- Had to go out after work and just got home. Will answer these asap.
