    Hi,
    From the pictures i guess the model is Z170A GAMING PRO? I haven't found any solid info on what that leds indicates,since i am not a MSI user. If you can get into BIOS try disabling the XMP from the RAM. If you can't get into BIOS some people on MSI forums recommend a "Clear CMOS" which i will paste it from MSI Forums:

    * New CMOS clearing method *

    Step 1:
    Disconnect the main AC power by either shutting off the power button on the back of your power supply or simply pulling out the power cable.

    Step2:
    Wait a minute to be sure all the capacitors and coils have discharged.
    To be really safe you can press the power button which will drain the capacitors for sure.

    Step3:
    Press the clear CMOS button on the back of the I/O panel.

    Step4:
    Wait a minute to be sure the CMOS has been cleared.

    Note: It is also recommended to remove CMOS battery to ensure 100% CMOS clear on Big Bang X & Intel 6x Sandy Bridge MB's. If date/time do not revert to original time of MB manufacture then you didn't get a complete clear CMOS.

    Step5:
    Restore power to the system.

    I don't know your system specs so I can't really give you specifics here. But if you have a CPU with integrated graphics remove your GPU completely and boot via integrated graphics.
