When I press the power button on the MB, the mainboard lights up (A Bios light), and fans start spinning, this happens for a split second, then it just dies. 
 
This is what I have done:
1. Disconnected every cable and visually checked motherboard and connections.
2. Tried the motherboard outside the chassis.
3. Relocated the memories. (Single and double)
4. Tried with an old PSU, and the new in my old computer. New one works.
5. Removed the CMOS battery and replaced it.
6. Shifted the RESET and ON/OFF button.
7. Removed the graphics card.
8. Removed the CPU and cooler and checked them visually.  All pins are intact.
9. On-board display does not show any codes.

Any ideas?  Board is still under warranty but I am hoping I don't have to wait that long to be up and running again.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

sounds like a bad motherboard, trying different kind/brand of RAM would help. also, I am assuming the CPU fan is firmly plugged in in "CPU fan header" on the board, right? is there 1 or 2 of those? try one RAM stick in all slots one at a time, then same with other stick. if all that fails, i would think it's a mobo.

Thank you for your quick reply.  The CPU fan is firmly plugged into "CPU Fan1" and it has two.  I also tried "CPU Fan2".  I tried different RAM and in all slots one at a time. 
MSi opens in one hour.  I'll give them a call and see what they say. 
Thank you again for trying to help.

Have you tried switching on the motherboard while it is outside the case and on top of a piece of plain cardboard? I mentioned plain cardboard because paint, tapes, stickers might be slightly conductive. I wonder if something on the motherboard is touching something in your case that it shouldn't.

Thank you guys.  I tried both those things.  I just tried a new power supply and no difference.  I had called MSI and they has asked me to try this and if it didn't work to call them.  We'll see what they say tomorrow but hopefully they'll send me a new one.  Thank you again.
