New MSI KT4V motherboard is dead I think...

[AmdEmAll]

Hey, I got a refurbished MSI KT4V (KT400) from newegg today. First of all the packaging wasn't that good. The motherboard was in an antistatic bag, inside of a fedex box inside another fedex box. No padding at all. I see nothing physically wrong with the motherboard. So it takes the place of my Epox 8KHA+. I can not get the board to post. It will occasionally beep 3 long beeps. Beeeep beeeep beeeep. I tryed different ram, a pci and agp video card. The cpu works fine in my 8kha+ (athlon xp 1600+) Ram is corsair pc3500 ddr. I also took the battery out for a minute and I reset the bios like 10 times. So, should i RMA it and b1tch at newegg for this rare newegg bad packaging?

I also have another question, my power supply cable the motherboard power cable is burnt on the end. It's burnt on all of the 5v connectors. Kindof scares me to see that and know that it almost started on fire when I was overclocking my cpu so much on the 8kha+... Powersupply still works fine though (antec 400watt)
