I have an MSI B350 Gaming motherboard and am using an adapter for the 8 pin cpu power. Thats been one thought in the back of my mind thinking the processor is jot getting wnough power. Now i was under the impression that my problem was a bios update so i purchased an older amd a-series dual core to try and get it to boot up and it did nothing. So im back to square one and i think i will just replace the motherboard and power supply one at a time until it works unless someone can help me out here. Any thoughts are appreciated.!!
