Hello, my english isn't the best so sorry for any bad typos or anything like that.

mobo: maximus rog hero viii
cpu: i7 6700k
psu: evga supernova 850 g2
ram: hyperx predator ddr4 4x4gb
gpu: geforce gtx 970

I am having a nightmare with my new build.

first i connected all components, cables etc in the case it booted up fine into bios then i started having some problems trying to install win7 thru usb. i got the no device found (error?) tried with 5 different iso files i used the windows 7 usb boot tool, i tried yumi and rufus. none of those worked so i tried with a windows 10 pro iso and i finally got somewhere after i put my sdd from mbr(or something) to gpt. i started the windows install and on step 3 i believe it was i got an error that shut my pc down. after that i got some error trying to boot but i came in eventually i started dl'ing my gpu driver and sound driver, then after sometime it froze up and i had to shut down power. this is when things started getting fucked.

When i tried booting up again i got no monitor signal so i googles around for a fix but nothing worked (i tried cmos reset, and a few other thing i found). Then i checked the red light on my mobo when trying to boot and it stopped on q-code 35 sometimes and 55 othertimes.

Now i have taken everything out og the case placed the mobo on the pack it came with disconnected everything except cpu and cpu cooler, i still got the q-code 35 so i tried installing the newest bios trhu the usb bios flashback thing. i downloaded the newest bios from asus.com renamed it M8H.cap and did the flashback. but now i get q-code 00 and i'm stuck i have no idea where to begin i have googled around and read alot but i just can't seem to find anything that works. any help would be much appreciated.

if any or all of this is to badly explained i will try to explain it better. Thank you.

atm only the cpu and cpu cooler is connected. i get q-code 00 on the mobo when trying to boot up and from my understanding this 00 code is when the mobo can't boot bios?

Red light? Could you try to see which one of the lights are red after you have the Q Code?

I would guess at this point, that while you were downloading your drivers, at an unstable point with your comp, and did a hard shutdown, you might of fried one or two of your components. Make sure you try this: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-ste...

Hmm. At this point, you could either try to troubleshoot and lose sleep, or go to your local computer repair shop.
