[quote]As to the last part of your response, if the voltage regulator has gone bonkers, that would mean I'd have to get a new board, right?[/quote] That depends upon the damage. I just one (a voltage regulator) or a few smaller parts are damaged, you could perhaps replace them - if you have replacement parts, the tools and the experience. [quote]A program (just the normal blink program) can be loaded onto it but the error with 'Reset & Retry..' keeps coming back and the processor still gets excessively hot, very quickly. And there doesn't seem to be any human caused short circuit on the original board either.[/quote] Have you tried to debug from reset vector on (not from "main()" on) ? The clock settings would also be a candidate to cause excessive heat. That might include single-stepping trough assembler instructions - from the reset vector on. I know that other Cortex M MCUs use to reject invalid clock chain settings, and fall back to a low-frequency default configuration. The MSP432 is quite new (dare I say 'Beta' ?), so I would not exclude an issue here.
