Issues with MSI GPU

I'Another words this configuration worked for5 months OK. the problem started when I tried to add standard SATA SSD (in the hard drive bay) and add extra RAM. The questions of: did you connect your HDs etc have not much meaning because the problem started without touching any cables. Once again here is what I did: - shut down PC - added RAM - connected SSD to available SATA port + the PWR - powered up this should be no brainer and I have build more than 100 PC in my life so I'm not a novice, but since I work in different IT area I'm not 100% familiar with all the new technology (it's just hard to keep up). I tested the card with another MOBO and there is no problem with the video. I also tried another PS - no change, so obviously it is a problem related to the MOBO. One other thing that I suspect is that when I cleared the CMOS possibly (by default) the MOBO goes into the VGA state with the card and sends signal to the DVI port instead DP port. After resetting the BIOS I did not test DVI. I think however that no matter what mode the GPU goes to it happens after the POST so I still should have standard text screen on my monitor (correct) ?

The memory you "added". Lets rule out it is not compatible with the "previous' stick you have. This is where I believe your issue is.

Adding mem alongside sticks that are/were already there is a recipe for problems. If the "added' sticks weren't purchased when the current sticks were odds are they are different enough to cause the exact issue you describe.




But don't just pull these new sticks.

Pull the added ones and clear the BIOS, then reboot into, hopefully, the BIOS.

Did following that get/allow you to boot again?
