My PC of 2 yearsall of a sudden had a boot error asking to go into BIOS or choose drive. I was unable use my keyboard, even after restarting and trying every USB port as well as a PS2 adapter (as well as multiple keyboards). I end up resetting the CMOS to see that even though my computer still posts to the prompt to enter BIOS, 0 RAM sticks and 0 USB devices are showing (mo itor/GPU appears to still works). I try reseating the memory in every possible configuration of my 2 sticks (including individually), CMOS resetting every time to no avail. If I try to restart without CMOS reset, I get a repeated error message a second after the MSI BIOS prompt saying "SetVariable ?? : No ResponseInitCbuiVariable : No Response". Is my motherboard bricked since both RAM sticks are not detected, my CPU possibly, my RAM is faulty, or possibly my PSU is bad?
