Asus Maximus VI Hero C2 Q-code 00. System didn't boot up

[Vasilis_07]

Hello

The system it's in use for about 2 months.Today didn't boot up and i have error code 00. Also i must mentioned that the 2 case fans that are connected directly in the motherboard did'nt work. I try to connect the rear case fan on the cpu opt and work. So the 3 pin fan connectors are dead.Do you have any idea how to solve the problem or the motherboard need RMA ?

The rest of the system

Corsair 750D
Intel i7 4770k
Corsair Hydro H110
Kingston Hyper X Beast 2*4GB 2400MHz
Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X
Samsung 830 256 GB
Corsair AX 760

I would start with the motherboard.

Yesterday i bought a second cheep motherboard https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H81MA/ to test the 4770k.The system didn't boot up.So the 4770k it's dead and i had already talked with Intel support.It's possible to have damage to motherboard ?

It all depends on what caused the CPU to die. But I would say you were just unlucky and have a dead CPU.

I'd recommend checking out the PSU also - I've had some issues with the 00-qcode on two separate machines running the Maximus VI Hero that I have been wrangling for a bit and I am about to the point that I want to nuke the mobo and PSU and start fresh due to my frustration levels and lost gaming time with my kids. I've kept a log here - https://sites.google.com/a/windforge.com/asus-maximus-hero-vi-troubleshooting-saga/

The previous day i had a system restart and in dos mode i had the message that the system restart because some part it's overheated and to press f1 for setup.I press del, entel bios to check temps.It's 31C for CPU - 40 for MB.Then i restartthe system and it's works for about 6 hours.The next day did'nt boot up again.

31'C at idle with a H100i? If you are overclocked to 4.6 GHz then maybe but that sounds very high. How hot is the room the PC was in?

I wonder if your cooler is broken and that caused the problem.

I had H110. But i haven't yet installed.I'm thinking for push pull.The last 2 weeks the system works with the intel cpu fan. No o/c.

Ah ok - honestly I did not think it was possible to clock a Haswell to 46 on a stock cooler.

PSU is most certainly a critical and oft overlooked part of a system. There have been a large number of PSU related issues this last while.
