I finally resolved this issue.
Here's the specific method:
Remove the battery, disconnect the motherboard power, clear the CMOS information, let it sit for 10 minutes—this solved the problem.

I had previously tried restoring the default BIOS settings while the power was connected, but that didn't fix the problem. I was already planning to send the motherboard in for repair when I suddenly thought to try disconnecting the power.
It feels like the MSI BIOS has a logical issue.
