Now sorry to bother you again. But assuming it's either the motherboard or cpu, all I need to do is contact them and send the thing back? Is there ever any problems, where they refuse to give me a new one for whatever reason?

Yeah I'm trying to call them but the connection for me here is pretty bad. Well when I go back one bios, 2202 I believe, I get q code 19. Same with the one before that, but I'll try to call regarding the 7F, its a better sign than all the others. Honestly I hope it's just the cpu if there is a...

Meanmachine, I just woke up to try it again and something happened. All of last night I've been getting 7F, but this morning I got 04 or what looks like to be 09 which stands for pch initialization before microde loading and pch initialization after microde loading Update: Welp, it was stuck on...

You've been alot of help. I really do appreciate it, and yeah I guess I'll just have to call asus later today and ask them. And this is the ram G.Skill TridentZ series 32 GB (4x8GB) 288 Pin DDR 4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Intel Z170 Platform/Intel X99 Platform desktop memory model...

Meanmachine I just want to mention before I forget. Thank you for all your help regardless of where this ends up (motherboard needs to be sent back or maybe something else) I want to thank you for the time you spent helping me out. Alright, I pressed the clear cmos in the back just now. I...

Yup thats what I did. But when I turn it on its stuck on 7F, which in the booklet says (reserved for future ami dxe codes). I assume it means that it isn't working. But I still have nothing on my screen, and keyboard and mouse still don't work. And what do you mean by checking usb settings. I...

Well I saw you respond to one a while back and thats how I did mine. I downloaded the latest bios on the asus website under the support tab. I have a maximus 8 Formula so I renamed the file to m8f. Put it into the spot in the back that says usb flashback, held the button and waited for it to...

Well I did download the memtest free version onto a usb. But my keyboard doesn't light up, so I'm assuming the computer doesn't recognize the usb. So I don't think theres a way for me to click f8. What should I do.

@meanmachine I tried both of the things you suggested. But sadly it's still not working.

What are the dimms? I'll run it when I get home later.

@meanmachine41 I tried the first part, cleaned out the stuff with the compressed air. As for the checkign the MB CPU socket, I did check it and there were no bent pins.

Hey guys I'm new here and new to computer building in general. I built my computer over this summer, so it's roughly 3 months old. I woke up this morning to find that my computer was completely frozen, I could see everything on the screen but nothing was responding, ctrl alt dlt and etc. So I...
