Using MSI's Live Update screwed up my system

[Joeyjoejoe shabadoo jr]

So here's the story.. I just put my system together and started to use MSi's Live Update to download and install drivers. I'm using an MSI Z87-G45. I walked away and don't know what driver did this, but, when I returned my comp is stuck in a perpetual loop of powering up and then powering down after about 10 seconds. There is no display anymore. I can't access the BIOS and Windows won't boot.

Apparently this is an issue that doesn't have much of a solution yet. Nothing has worked yet. MSI's tech support is useless.

This is my build.

Have you tried resetting the CMOS altogether by removing the CMOS battery, shorting the CLR_CMOS jumpers (If Any)... etc etc... and then tried booting?
Have tried Unplugging the system completely from the wall Power outlets , waiting for about 5 to ten minutes and then powering it ON?
What have been the results?

As alyoshka suggests reset cmos and try again.
You could also try taking it apart and reassembling it with only the basics installed. If that goes well add parts one by one and restarting after each.

Ok, so I' have tried all of those solutions. Unplugged all power sources, reset the CMOS, removed the CMOS battery, taken components off and reassembled. I'm pretty certain I'll have to return the board.. not happy

Installing drivers in any way be it smart install or whatever shouldn't kill your computer like that. If RMAing your board is an option then definately go for it!

If you're using the motherboard's built-in video adapter, switch to a video card, PCI-E or even PCI, since that's the only way to see anything on the screen during the boot block process. I believe an AMI BIOS will repeatedly ask for a file named AMIBIOS.ROM and for you to hit the Enter key. An Award BIOS requires holding down Ctrl and Home keys before powering up and will the request the BIOS file.
