I tried to manually set the CPU frequency and voltage, now the motherboard will not post. Stuck on white LED. Basically same story as this:

Settings I set:
CPU Frequency 4.6ghz (R9 3900x)
Voltage 0.945

Settings should have not have fried anything I would think. If they did... well no wonder there is a disclaimer before you can access those. Foolish me.

Has anyone found a solution? I'm thinking this motherboard is a joke, not a real workstation class motherboard.

Only thing I have not tried is flashing BIOS

Can I flash the BIOS still? How do I do that (need USB thumbdrive with BIOS image loaded properly, but then what?)

Thanks... I'm still mad about this, about to go buy a different board if I cant fix this.
 
BIOS Hard Reset procedure

Power off the unit, switch the PSU off and unplug the PSU cord from either the wall or the power supply.

Remove the motherboard CMOS battery for five minutes. In some cases it may be necessary to remove the graphics card to access the CMOS battery.

During that five minutes, press the power button on the case for 30 seconds. After the five minutes is up, reinstall the CMOS battery making sure to insert it with the correct side up just as it came out.

If you had to remove the graphics card you can now reinstall it, but remember to reconnect your power cables if there were any attached to it as well as your display cable.

Now, plug the power supply cable back in, switch the PSU back on and power up the system. It should display the POST screen and the options to enter CMOS/BIOS setup. Enter the bios setup program and reconfigure the boot settings for either the Windows boot manager or for legacy systems, the drive your OS is installed on if necessary.

Save settings and exit. If the system will POST and boot then you can move forward from there including going back into the bios and configuring any other custom settings you may need to configure such as Memory XMP profile settings, custom fan profile settings or other specific settings you may have previously had configured that were wiped out by resetting the CMOS.

In some cases it may be necessary when you go into the BIOS after a reset, to load the Optimal default or Default values and then save settings, to actually get the hardware tables to reset in the boot manager.

It is probably also worth mentioning that for anything that might require an attempt to DO a hard reset in the first place, it is a GOOD IDEA to try a different type of display as many systems will not work properly for some reason with displayport configurations. It is worth trying HDMI if you are having no display or lack of visual ability to enter the BIOS, or no signal messages.

Hi, thanks-- this is all PC troubleshooting 101. After trying all of this with no success I have removed the motherboard from the case entirely. I have started RMA process with ASUS but as I can not tolerate having the PC down I will either put my old motherboard back in or will buy a new one tomorrow. Since the motherboard is already out, I might try it on a test bench as a last chance for it to work. I will leave the CMOS battery out and the CMOS clear jumper set all night so it will have plenty of time to clear out .

Just to be sure, here is the motherboard removed from the case , bench build only just the minimum

Everything had been working for weeks until I went into BIOS and tried go into OC settings and set CPU frequency and voltage manually (BAD IDEA). Never booted again. Yes, I have reset bios many times and many times over many minutes. I am not mad at yall I am mad at ASUS.

RAM , Mobo, and CPU purchased in August. I doubt they died . I doubt both Titan XPs died . I doubt my 3 monitors and their monitors died.

What else is there to doubt?

Can I flash the BIOS and maybe fix it? How do I flash the BIOS in this state? Thanks.
