I spent a LOT of hours trying out every CMOS config and bios version I could find. After nearly 16 hours of different options, I got an email from MSI - they said they haven't heard anything about issues so the problem is on my end. I switched the motherboard with one from another manufacturer and the albatross of MSI is gone - never ever ever ever ever again. Even if by chance I got a defective motherboard their concern and effort and quick reply after 2 weeks was enough to convince me of where the issue is.

Thanks - I tried the latest MSI bios and the latest adaptec and LSI firmware - work fine in older systems just not in my MSI x870.

Can't get past post with a raid card in. I have a Adaptec Smartraid 3154-16I, 81605ZQ, 9260 (not near system) and a h755 that I've put in a number of systems with no issues. i just got a new tomahawk motherboard that has the 7e51v1a24 firmware in it. I've tried a number of combinations in the 3 slots. If I put the card in the first slot - the onboard graphics is disabled and the system won't post. If I put a cheap 1GB old PCIE video card in the first slot and any card mentioned above in the 2nd or 3rd slot - it continuously reboots never getting past post and the usb ports are ALL disabled. I've reset the bios many times, I've tried many combinations within the bios - none of them have worked. All of my cards work great on older systems and are in use. This is my first AMD processor since my 386-40. I don't know if the problem is MSI's bios or the x870 chipset or even the AMD processor. Anyone here have experience with an x870 processor and a raid card?
