Did you read everything about the codes that can be displayed by the LED display?

Yes. I saw nothing about any "c" post codes. :(

Since we have no idea what the C code is for, I would try removing all RAM and trying each DIMM in each slot and removing any expansion cards(including video cards) to see if you get anywhere.

 

Edit: Do you have a motherboard speaker plugged in? Your case should've come with one.

Just tried no ram. It never has any post it instantly comes up c. And I've never had beeps from this board before and it dose have a speaker.

Try building the system as bare bones as you can.

I looked at that video before. He never really says what the code means. Is my mobo dead? Bios fucked? I've cleared the cmos and booted into the other bios.

So there site is back online ish. Found something saying the "c" means cpu.. No communication. So could be lack of power, cpu bad, or mobo bad. Or it could also mean if u have an after market cooler like I have it may be tighten down to much. So I checked all my power made sure they r all plugged in correctly. Then I loosened my cpu cooler then tighten it back down but with much less force. Then all of a sudden it posted. Thanks for working with me guys and giving me some trouble shooting advice. I hope my findings will help others.
