Do you know of any software solution that doesn't require windows where I can locate my boards S/N?
I got a new hard drive and I can't boot into work windows with a failed motherboard but I can play around in BIOS without it crashing

With a windows recovery disk to access command prompt, if it lets you, you can try "wmic baseboard get serialnumber"
Doesn't always work. For my MSI motherboard, using that command just returns "SerialNumber To be filled by O.E.M." I have never seen a retail motherboard without a serial number sticker on it unless it was removed by the owner. I've installed multiple m5A99x Evos in various customer computers.
If RMA isn't going to be possible, you might as well buy another AM3+ board from Amazon, and return it if that turns out not to be the problem.
Have you been able to test a different GPU?
