Question ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO Z170 NO SIGNAL HELP!!!!

[Drinkemyslurpe]

Hello! I have a maximus board that has no signal at all. Codes go from B0 to B1 after a few mins then restarts. This goes on for a long time as it is a loop. There is no leds on when it goes thru this cycle, I bought this motherboard thinking i can fix it..

Things Ive tried:

-Clearing CMOS
-Using a 6th gen intel processor
-Updating the bios to the latest and the one it shipped with
-replacing the bios chip
-Using bios's it came out with. (It would give a screen but stay on the screen "bios is updating, please dont turn off etc."
-Reseating cpu
-Tightening cpu cooler

This is my first build and im for a lost for words..

Specs:
-Core I5 6600
-RAM: T-Force Vulcan Z ddr4 16gb kit (2x8) 3200mhz (PC4-25600)
-using TV

So you bought this board knowing it was bad. And that's your problem. Generally speaking you can't "fix" a broken motherboard. Even the board manufacturer won't try to fix it. They'll just throw it in the scrap pile and replace it with another one if somebody sends one in that's faulty.

And the behavior you're seeing is very typical of either a dead board or a faulty CPU. Stopping on B0 during the POST process almost always means the board or CPU are dead and the fact that there are no LEDs is further evidence of a board problem.

I'd definitely recommend pulling the CPU and making sure that no pins were accidentally bent during installation though and that you've double checked EVERYTHING listed here:

Oh ok, thanks for the info ill try that once i get home, also when i dont screw in the cpu cooler when its at B0 CPU_LED is on and still no picture.
If i screw it in, once its at B0, no leds are present. When its turned on it goes thru its stages of checking the cpu nd dram leds so those work.

If you have a different set of symptoms when the CPU cooler is installed and when it isn't, then there is a really good chance there are bent pins on the motherboard pin bed. I would take a very close look at that with the CPU removed.

Right, my bad for taking too long i took a look at the pins everything is alligned in the microscope, but when i turn it on still got the same symptoms... 🙁

Well, then I'd suggest it's most likely you have a faulty board. Which I imagine you pretty much knew before you bought it if you intended to "fix" it.
