    AMD A6-3650 2.6 ghz

    Swapped video cards? Not from onboard to a actual video card I assume. First steps.

    1: Check the BIOS, does it show up? Or are you blank screened?
    2: Try it in another PC. If it works, it's not compatible. If it does not work, return it.

    Not if you have 600 watts. I'm tempted to think the card does not like you board but I feel like I am missing something. Any beeps in your machine?

    No Beeps it just power on without display and it does not go to Bios

    Had same issue recently. I cleared the CMOS on the motherboard and that did the trick. Worth a shot.

    Here'a trick I learnt for a computer with a hardware problem with no beeps;

    remove all RAM sticks, and boot it; you should now get RAM fault beeps.
    Then replace the RAM and boot again, and listen for any beeps.

    I have done this a couple times, and have realized that this forces hardware beeps to play.

    You can also do it with removing and replacing the video card, but only if the motherboard doesn't have onboard video.

    OK tried clearing CMOS and did not work then I got an email from MSI to update my bios then while updating power fluctuate now its all black I think my motherboard got bricked

    Before you do that be sure power supply is on (should have fans turning). If so, then read Blujays ideas above. If that all fails, yeah, it's bricked.

    Oh and clear CMOS again and try the update since it failed.

    How did you update the BIOS? In Windows, from a DOS flash disk, or from inside of the preexisting BIOS? Sometimes BIOS updates when done within Windows are more of a "roll of the dice" than BIOS updates done via a DOS boot flash drive or from within the preexisting BIOS.
