It was previously running an i5 2500k. I purchased an i7 3770. When I installed the i7, the system would start, run a few seconds, then stop and repeat.
I was told I needed a newer BIOS to flash.
I went to the MSI website, found the BIOS file to flash.
I followed the directions. First, I unzipped the downloaded to my desktop, then copied that to my USB drive. That didn't work so I copied the one file in that folder to my thumb drive.
That didn't work either.
My thumb drive was freshly formatted (full, not quick format) and had only the one file in it.
Can anyone help? I had the MSI tech stumped, although he thought my BIOS screen was cool, old but cool.
