Well throughout the past week and a half i have been troubleshooting my entire system.
I first thought it was the PSU and it wasnt (bought a new one) then i thought it was the motherboard which it was since there was no startup at all with my old mobo and is with my new mobo, i then got the issue of Q-Code 00...
My motherboard is the Asus Maxiumus VIII (8) Hero.
I have checked all RAM sticks, have nothing else connected other then a single RAM stick, the cpu obviously and the fan connectors. Iv even USB flashbacked the BIOS to version 3701 (which i had to use my raspberry pi to get the CAP file onto my USB in the first place...)
Now, is it possible that my mobo and cpu give up at the exact same time?
The only thing i can think of is a surge or something yet the mobo has surge protection. The only custom settings i had that are relevant to this is that i had XMP enabled for my RAM speed but i forced the CPU to go at 4Ghz as well as have EPU enabled and another thing that communicates with the CPU which managed voltages.
I am still within the 3 year warranty that OCUK says, my CPU has no visible burns or damage of any sort so how likely would it be that they would replace it also?
