Hello there,
as stated in the title, I'm having trouble with my ASUS Maximus VII Hero Board.
It worked absolutely fine until recently, when I tried to start my PC the power LED would come on for a second, then shut down immediately and repeat this over and over. No POST beep, no error code, no screen flicker etc.
I had an i7-4790k and 16GB RAM installed at that time. I went through all the troubleshooting I know (I'm not a beginner) and eventually ended up with just the board with nothing but power connected, no CPU and no RAM installed, used a different PSU, still the same problem, the board kept shutting down after a second. But when I removed the 12V CPU power connector, the board stopped resetting and showed error code 00 instead (both with CPU/RAM installed and without). I couldn't really verify this but i think in this case its complaining about the 12V connector missing, so I cant even verify the CPU is fine, and I have no other 1150 Board. So my guess is probably a power surge killed something in the CPU power section? I measured between the 12V and ground pins on the CPU connector and there's at least no direct short, but really it's the only thing I can think of. Any other way to test this or should I just throw away the PSU and board and cut my losses?
