That button is the correct method. It's an MSI thing.
Okay, I had to ask.

You're right. Time to swap MB and/or processor.

A month after assembly is when I think about assembly procedures.

Be sure to unplug the power - or at least discharge the p/s - before removing or installing components like RAM. Many systems don't bleed down the caps or do it too slowly for bench work. I've had many knowledgable customers fry their systems by forgetting.

Then there's ESD damage. It can take a while for the component to degrade and show symptoms.

Hey, you may do everything perfectly but I can't see from here.
