Not working on MSI Z370M GAMING PRO AC (MS-7B44) - BIOS 1.70 #279

Neutered ME fails on the following system configuration:

Flashed using M-Flash (firmware GUI option). Display does not initialize (internal or PCIe), and machine becomes unresponsive and has to be hard-powered off. Reverted to version 1.60 - which, after processing with soft-disable, results in a functional system (with only a nag screen before POST, warning of damaged ME integrity) - using a hardware flasher. Did not attempt to verify functionality with any other option.

Aside: Version 1.60 uses ME/TXT version 11.8.55.3510, whereas version 1.70 uses 11.8.60.3561.

Fixed by downgrading ME to version 11.8.55.3510.
