So i started this build a while back and i realized it would not post. figured out it was a dead psu (Corsair rm750 at the time) and replaced it with the above. thought that was the end of it. wired everything up and plugged it into a monitor, and i get a message telling me that the system was in bios recovery mode and i needed to put a bios file on a usb stick, plug it in, and reset it. i did. nothing. tried again w/ the correct bios this time. still nothing. then i was told to flash the bios, and it would not finish flashing. i turned off and unplugged the usb. tried flashing it again later as an afterthought, and it actually worked. but now a whole new set of issues emerged. when i turn on the computer, i now get a cpu LED that i did not get before. somehow my usb got destroyed somewhere along the way. i also get a 00 qcode, the qcode was f9 back before the flash. i tried to clear the cmos, reseat the cpu, reseat the ram, tested the psu (it Works). all i achieved to do was to get it to restart a couple of times before stably powering on. also if i press the power button o mobo/case it will not work. i have to power off the psu itself. anyone know what the hell is going on here? ASUS said my mobo is dead, i suspect the cpu.
