![]() I placed the CPU in its plastic carrier during this process, and placed the CPU box over the socket exposed to avoid dust falling onto it. I'm not sure if this is necessary, but they don't have to be in for the rest of this process. I removed the CPU and RAM from the motherboard. I copied that file to the root directory of the flash drive, and renamed it "MSI.ROM" as instructed in the motherboard manual. ![]() In that folder was a file named "E7D25IMS.A92" (along with a text file, which isn't needed). I saved it to the USB flash drive which I had for installing Windows, then extracted the contents, producing a folder named "7D25vA92". I downloaded the most recent BIOS from MSI's support page for the motherboard ( ), which was version 7D25vA92 at the time of writing, released. Fortunately, this motherboard has a "Flash BIOS Button" (See page 30 of the motherboard manual). I realized the motherboard box said "Supports 12th Gen Intel Coreā¢ Processors", and decided to try updating the BIOS. SOLUTION: TL DR Use the Flash BIOS button to update the BIOS with a USB flash drive, as instructed in the motherboard manual. In some cases, the CPU light would stay on the whole time until I turned it I retried a few times, and tried removing the CPU cooler and removing/repositioning the RAM sticks a few times to fix it. All the fans turned on, but I noticed that the EZ Debug LEDs (see page 25 of the motherboard manual ) would have the CPU light turn red for a second or so, followed by the DRAM light turning orange for about half a second, and then repeating. When I was putting my system together on the bench (on the motherboard box), I tried booting the system. I tried to use a long title to make this easier to search in the future. I'm posting this because when I was troubleshooting, I didn't find this solution in the search results, but worked it out on my own. This post is actually for a solution rather than a problem.
