ASUS X99-A USB 3.1 00 Q-Code

[FusionGFX]

Hello guys!

Just finished building my new PC, but when I tried to boot it, following happens:

Error Code 00
CPU Fans ARE SPINNING (Corsair H100i GTX)
Pump is running
HDD & SSD are running
GPU Fans ARE SPINNING

but all the other fans do not spin (3 included ones), the system does not show anything on the screen and shows Q-Code 00

Specs:

ASUS X99-A USB 3.1
Intel Core i7 5820k
GTX 980 Strix
4x4 GB Corsair Vengeance 2666 (already tried booting with one stick)
PSU: Corsair RMI 750
Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX

Whats the fault? What can I do to check whats wrong or get everything working again?


Thank you for all answers.

Regards

Thomas

You're welcome.
"Is there any chance the CPU is dead? "
I'd say no, It looks more like a motherboard issue.
"I was really carefully when installing but could e.g. a screw dropped on the mainboard have damaged it?"
No, I don't think so.
"Is there any explanation why certain headers work and others dont?"
Interrupted circuits, probably. Theoretically, the CPU fan should not spin with the 8 pin power cable disconnected. Only the case fans.

Alright then

I'll send it back to amazon and I'll keep you updated if the new one arrives!
I hope everything will work out then

Please post back the result.

In another thread, you advised replacing the CPU. What was the difference there?

No problem.
He replaced the motherboard firstly:
"I replaced the motherboard today and... same issue
Q code 00, no POST... CPU fan spinning case fans plugged into MOBO don't spin
With no RAM it doesn't even beeps..e"

Hey alexoui!

Sawapping the mainboard worked perfectly! Thank you!!


Got one small problem left.
Built in 4x4 GB Corsair Vengeance but it only shows 12GB (Tripple Channel)
Whats the matter there?

Hi, Good you've solved it (partially, it seems). If leaving single RAM module installed and testing each slot, is there a slot that does not work (system not booting)?
