Hey all,
First off, forgive my irritation. Just frustrated that after years of saving and researching to get the best I can to make a beastly gaming build and after fighting long wait and shipping times I get everything here to find somethings fried. I finally ordered everything in for a new computer build, I have everything breadboarded on cardboard, and I can't get my the pc to POST. When I power up my computer, it's giving me a CPU error code 00, which from my understanding means it can't detect or test the CPU. I've looked up and tried to determine what could be the cause of this, but even the mobo manual doesn't have a listing for code 00, it just says "not used". So where I'm at right now, I have the motherboard and CPU plugged into the PSU, that's it. No RAM, no GPU, nothing else. I've verified I have the 8 pin connector and the CPU connector plugged in. I've tried to flash the BIOS with the newest version using a jumpdrive and the handy little BIOS flash button, but it won't even do that, it just says "updated did not complete". I've made sure there are no bent CPU pins. I don't have any other motherboards or CPU's that I can swap out to test this. So I'm pretty sure I have either a DOA CPU or mobo, but I don't know how to determine which one it is. I'd appreciate any advice or help. Component list below. Thanks all
