I think everything worked. Crashed often with Ryzen 7 3700X. I was able to install Windows but it just shut down every few minutes. I suspected a bios problem. Actually, I suspected a problem with the processor, but the problem with the bios was easier to solve. I updated the BIOS from USB and it got stuck halfway outside of Windows. This further corrupted the BIOS, preventing it from POSTing. You can use the button on the back of the board and the USB flash drive to update the BIOS even without full power-on or without a processor. If you search and read the MSI manual (on another non-bricked computer) you will find instructions that you should probably read carefully to avoid more damage. It hasn't been installed and still not posted. I scratched my head, googled and read somewhere that the board RECOGNIZES USB sticks **ONLY CERTAIN BRANDS OF USB DRIVES**. The BIOS Delivery Stick that worked was an old SanDisk. Why? God, why do you allow bad things to happen to bad people? Regardless, after a successful update to the latest BIOS version, not only did it pass POST, it never crashed again. Keeps for a month and a half. Guess I don't have to return this processor! The need for RTFM and the need to try different USB sticks are hurdles that most users will not overcome. If you do that, you'll end up with a pretty decent board. The M.2 slot is good and very fast, but most boards have it these days. Giving 5/5 stars to make sure Revain is smart enough to recognize negative reviews with positive stars and because it would probably be nice if the manufacturers didn't ship it with an unusable bios.
