Is this the answer to my problems?

Well, I just e-mailed MSI about the problem I had with my mobos not working... When I took the video card out, it gave off the same Orange, Red, Red, Orange sign. But MSI told me that my problem was that the video card isn't working? Is that the problem? It could also be that the POST is trying to give two different codes

Red, Red, Red, Red
The lights will hang here if the processor is damage or not installed properly

Green, Red, Red, Green
BIOS Sign on

Should I try a new video card? Or should I try reseating the CPU again?

The HIGHLY TECHNICAL forum is not for troubleshooting.

I'm going to be nice and do this before you get flamed: Run away! Go post in Mobos and NEVER LOOK BACK!

...And do try to be more informative in "Topic Title" and "Topic Summary". One could almost think you did this on purpose...

Edit: - Ooops! I think I bumped this. :eek: (Hope I'm not going senile already.)

Judging from the joined date, I'm guessing that rice joined when he started having trouble with the video card. He apparently doesn't realize that there are 1000's of people here and 1000's of threads - this thread seems a continuation of another thread, which most likely he started in the proper place. Sooo, I say we don't hang him :)

It appears he posted in technical support last time... easy mistake to make.

its almost like a fission reaction. one person gets help with a problem, then they tell their friends, they join and post on the wrong forum, but then get the answer on the right forum, then they tell their friends etc... QUICK Throw some boron at them to stop the reaction!

I can honestly say i have never heard anyone ever say "Throw some boron at them". Good line.

An example of a highly technical question is mabye "how do led's work" or something to that nature (not that easy tho)

Err... well... I did LOOK at other forums you know... They NEVER solved my problems... Cause barely anybody have orange, red, red orange as a DLED. Oh yeah... reseated the CPU so it works... but I still don't get a signal on my monitor... Are you really going to throw boron at me? This technically err.. isn't a mobo problem... Its more of what the heck is wrong in the computer. How am I supposed to know which forum to post on? This was highly technical?
