Hi all,There's links shoved all over this site regarding files that will hopefully help others get their systems in working order.
I thought I would eliminated the leg work for newbies and those too lazy to search and post links to many important/vital files that may aid users in making the most out of their MSI experience, even if the BIOS is a pain in the arse.
