    hello,

    I bought a motherboard MS-16F31 me about a year ago from Asia, but it could not test because the power board of my MS-16F2 barebone is not compatible. In the meantime, I once had a power board from a GT60 here and was able to test just the motherboard, since it ran. I was only briefly in the Bios and have the motherboard because spotted again, because there was no time more. Now I have GT70 Complete housing and was able to test the MS-16F31 motherboard extensively.

    Oddly, it will not start now. It only flashes the power button every 5 seconds in white and the fan makes 1-2 turns. I have tested it with some parts ...

    - i5-2410M
    - I7 2670QM
    - Tested 1GB Samsung DDR3 in all slots
    - 2x4GB DDR3 tested Samsung in all slots
    - GTX460M
    - GTX770M
    - 150W PSU
    - 180W PSU
    - Another CMOS battery
    - With and without battery

    It is still not connected HDD adapter, but I do not think that it is dadran. The motherboard is where fitted completely in GT70 housing, Sämmtliche cables are connected.

    Where had I tested the motherboard then the GT60 Power Board, it was not installed. As was the i7 CPU, 1x 4GB Ram and the GTX460M installed, tested with the 150 PSU.

    Maybe someone knows here's the problem and can help me there on.

    it may be adapters to the hdd. Please use the original or if the test times without.

    If you no longer need the power switch I would have interest.

    Bad board? There are so many variables to consider that it's difficult to say for certain. You have tested all the components, though, so it would seem to be a board issue.

    I would believe it's either a bad power board, or a bad motherboard.
