Go to solution Solved by Darchitect,

Fixed it! I just reset the CMOS (it was the bottom pins) and got both the BIOS and Windows up and running! Thank you so much for the help @TVwazhere

I was running heaven benchmark on my desktop PC running Windows 10, and my monitor began showing random colors eventually becoming completely black. After turning off my PC, it will no longer boot - it begins booting for about 30 seconds and turns off. No flash screens are shown.

According to the manual, there should be a system warning speaker plug on the motherboard, that might help you troubleshoot what the issue is

What can I plug into the speaker plug? I don't think I have anything that is able to plug into it. (Thanks for helping me with this)

Many boards come with speakersa for this plug (it appears ASUS does not provide one with your board whicch is silly)

Thanks - is there anything else I can do while I wait for it to arrive? I read that clearing the CMOS may help.

Clearing CMOS can help. Other than that, if you have an extra GPU you can plug in, i would try that because the screen showing random colors could be a GPU related issue.

I tried booting again and I noticed that the MEMOK LED blinked twice in orange.
I then replaced the RX 480 with a GTX 680 and the MEMOK LED along with another LED which I don't know the name of both blinked twice (at different times) in red.

The GTX 680 did not make anything appear on the screen.

I also was having trouble locating the CMOS jumper - do you know where that is on the Sabertooth X99?
