I've tried configuring the system as a single-CPU. I've tried the
"disconnect everything" approach. Nothing changes.
Someone please save me from this hell.
I don't know if this applies but the "European Siren" sound coming fom
my MSI board indicates an overheat situation. sounds to me the built in
heat detection settings in the board are set farly low. you might try
increasing them to a more acceptable range.. and as far as it not doing
anything.. The "TECH" ( I use the term lightly ) from whom I bought my
whole setup had forgotten to add CPU Paste to the CPU.. This renedered
the board useless.. as "I THINK" tho not sure that somehow the MSI
boards are measuring resistance or something across the top of the chip.
as soon as paste was applied.. BANG everything went to working.. Just my
2 cents and experience with MSI..
I hope this sheds a little light on the situation.

ditto... I burnt up a MSI motherboard do to overheating as well. I had
the same exact symptoms Doran.
The problem with mine was that the 'overheat protection' (something MSI
built to protect those pesky infiernos called thunderbirds) circutry was
broken and the board wouldn't allow the system to post.
good luck man.
