good points
1-support amd new 6 core cpu
2-sata 3
3-dual gigabit lan
4-8 channel audio
still disappoint things
1-USB 2.0
2-DDR3 max frequency still we need clocks over 2000ghz
3-with new cpu support IGP should be from 5xxx DX11 not DX10.1

did it boot after you powered down such as you switched off the PSU and turned it back on?

No. Actually it is up to the mobo's mood. Even if it boots, sometimes it stucks at Windows startup... They know how crap the mobo is and that's why they put a debug Led on it

So did you try the removing memory module step on the ECS too? May be the memory modules are the culprit.

The modules have no problem. I have searched the forums and people had problems installing 7 with MSI boards when they have 3 or 6 sticks. I have even saw people who have 4 GB of RAM, 64 Bits OS and they still get 3.25 GB RAM usage The problem: MSI's BIOS

It's horrible for that to happen but a Bios flash does normally take care of that even if it's for the same Bios you have.

I have had to do that with several brands and Of course Jetway does take the lead on that BS,ECS 2nd, Biostar 3rd, Asrock 4th and of course ASUS and Gigabyte but ASUS and Gigabyte boards did work mostly from the get go.. ***MY EXPERIENCES may not be typical***

I did not include MSI in Those examples cause I'll just now be going on my 3rd MSI board (next Wednesday I'm getting a MSI 770-C45) the rest of those brands I have had 5+ boards
