DOA - Big BANG rings true

None of the features or performance mattered because the board could not post. I had 3 industry experts over during the build. Error codes 19 and 60 were shown and others not in the book. 'Bullets' get in the way of mounting video cards and are also not effective at heat sink as some have shown in online videos. Others receiving this error code swapped boards and the problem was relieved meaning defective board.

DOA

Replaced a AMD based MB with MSI Big Bang and a new Intel CPU. Not my fist build so knew what to do. After the install I turned it on and nothing. No lights, no fans, no error codes. Checked the power supply using the paperclip method and all was fine. Called tech-support and after a lengthy process they decided to issue a RMA, by email. No computer until they get it and test it and either return it or replace it.
