When you remove the battery, make sure that your computer is unplugged. Keep the battery out for about 3 minutes. Then, put the battery back in, plug the PC in.

Appreciate the advice, but sadly its already been done. It boots runs a few post codes and sticks at 55, Early Memory Initialization. I'm assuming at this point that either something is faulty with CMOS or something went wrong with the board. I have cleared it before in the past over processor oc's but it just doesn't want to do it now for the memory. Quite frustrating and disappointing.

It's strange that this happened without overvolting. Good luck with the RMA.

I've owned 4 msi boards and every one of them had quirky issues clearing the cmos. Here's what worked for me when all else failed. Be sure the battery is in place and fire the machine up. Then shut it down and pop the battery out. Reach back and hit your power switch on your psu. Then hit the power switch on the PC. If done correctly your fans and leds should momentarily power up then shut back down. Then put everything back together and try to boot it up. This is what I call a "hard" clear cmos. It is only an issue with my msi boards but this has always cleared my cmos settings when the button and removing the battery have failed. Post back with your results
