Asus P8Z77-V PRO \ No post \ no beep

[IZZY.exe]

What’s happening: 

When i turn on the machine, all the system fans spin and the cpu fans, as well as the GPU fans. However they just spin forever with the red vga_led staying lit up forever. My HDD’s are all working too and the PSU fan is also spinning. RGB USB devices don’t light up, no devices turn on. 

 

Expected behaviour:

When I turn on the machine all the fans should spin and then th vga_led light should be on for about 3 seconds. I should then hear a beep sound, and then the Asus logo should show up on my display and the USB devices should be working.  

 

Things ive tried:

clearing cmos with jumper (same as behaviour above.)

taking out the system battery and leaving it out overnight. (same as behaviour above.)

Turning on with all the ram and no GPU (same as behaviour above.)

Turning on with 1 stick of ram and no GPU (same as behaviour above.)

Turning on with 1 stick of ram and with GPU (same as behaviour above.)

Turning on without ram (long beep followed by two short beeps. As soon as I put back just 1 stick of of ram the system does the same behaviour as before.)

 

Some potentially relevant Info:

 

I haven’t taken out the cpu because I don’t have any thermal paste. 

 

What seemed to have caused the issue is that I turned CSM to “auto” and then tried to boot into Ubuntu. The system didn’t boot into Ubuntu I just got a black screen so after I restarted the system that the issue above started happening. 

 

The reason i was playing around with the CSM setting was because the black screen issue when booting into Ubuntu had been happening before and I was trying to fix that. The system booted into windows 10 perfectly but not for Ubuntu. 

 

The system has been working perfectly before I did the csm thing. It was built by a friend of my dad’s about 7 years ago.
