MSI X99 Gaming Pro Carbon not showing bios

[YanaPNeko]

I got a new board through RMA and it is still having problems with not showing bios.

On the old board the cpu and heatsink fan would not kick on but everything else would.

Changed ram positions and quantities and made sure everything is snug.
Tried DVI and HDMI on monitor as well.

It is showing an E0 error code which is not in the manual unfortunately.

My specs are

MSI X99 Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard
Intel i7 6850k CPU
MSI Geforce GTX 1060 6GB GPU
Western Digital 500GB SSD
16GB x 2 G Skill DDR4 2133 RAM
Corsair HXi Series HX750i 750W 80 Plus Platinum PSU
NZXT H440 case

I have found out your problem. Some Intel X99 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Broadwell-E CPUs. I found this out in this link: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Rbxr7 . So I think you are ging to need a completely new motherboard that can support the cpu architecture that you have.

Problem is that board supported Broadwell-E since the vary 1st bios release. I would start buy unplugging the system from the wall and pull the battery out of the motherboard for about 60 seconds, pop it back in and plug it back into the wall and see if it boots.

You may even have to make sure a fan is plugged into the CPU fan header, I had one z170 board not boot until I plug something into it.

Also try another keyboard and try plugging it into a USB 2.0 port and start mashing delete. Also are you getting anything displaying on screen? If not what slot do you have your graphics card in, is the card new? Might be a dead graphics card.

Also might be a dumb question, is the 8 pin CPU power plugged in? Is the 6 pin power plugged into the graphics card?

Yep using a Noctua heatsink with the CPU. The heatsink would not turn on with previous motherboard, turns on nicely with the replacement motherboard.

GPU also uses 8 pin power. Both cpu and gpu have power plugged in. Did the motherboard reset on both boards.

Talked to MSI and looks like the GPU is suspect as well. MSI also flashed the replacement motherboard with the latest bios version to ensure there are no compatibility problems.

Overall looks to be a double DOA on the original parts.

Yeah a bad graphics card can cause it, keep us updated it you can.
