So I had a 13900k inside my first z790 gaming. It would constantly blue screen. I ended up buying a new one as I am here for job training. It didn't make a difference fresh windows It would boot loop 10 plus times sometimes it would stay on sometimes it wouldn't. So I figured with everything online it was the cpu. Today I upgraded to a 14900k. It started booting and running codes just fine than I got a 00. Tried resetting the cpu still 00. I'm at a loss with my bad luck did I get a bad cpu? I'm not at home I don't have extra parts laying around to test this. Everything is watercool so it is a pain to test anything.

Hello @Jo31337
Could you please confirm your current BIOS version? Is it the latest version 2503, released on August 8, 2024?
According to the [Motherboard] Common Q-CODE (Error CODE) and Troubleshooting guide, on Intel platform motherboards, a Q-code 00 error during boot indicates a CPU issue.
We recommend following the ROG STRIX Z790-E GAMING WIFI manual instructions to reinstall the CPU, RAM, and PSU and check for any hardware damage, such as bent CPU pins or dirty/damaged memory contacts.
In general, we would suggest cross-testing with different hardware, such as the CPU or GPU, to isolate potential hardware issues.
Please clear CMOS, check if a BIOS update is necessary, and refer to [Motherboard] Troubleshooting - No Power/No Boot/No Display.
Additionally, since you just purchased the CPU, if you have any concerns, we suggest contacting the retailer for assistance if needed.
Thank you.

Thank you for getting back to me. Yes I am updated to the latest firmware. Also I ended up swapping it out for another 12900k works fine. Just seemed odd getting a bad 13900k and 4 months later getting a bad 12900k. I also had just swapped the rog strix z790 gaming mobo for another one 2 months ago thinking maybe a bad mobo. Problem is solved now. Thank you for getting back to me again.
