Issue with motherboard need help

[Bomad]

I have the maximus vii formula water cooled. It's been running solid for 12 months. Now when I go to start it Q LED 00 appears - manual is saying not used??

Hired a tech to Test every component for a secondary opinion. Determined it's the motherboard. Any way to fix it I've Google and read endless post but no firm answer to what's going on. And if anyone has had the issue and sent it away under warranty, what was the outcome from Asus?

My build
Case: NZXT 810 Switch
Motherboard: Asus Maximus 7 Formula
Cpu: i5 4690k with Ek water lock
Ram: Corsiar hyperX 8GBx2
GPU: R9 290 with EK Full cover Waterblock
PSU: Corsair RM850W full modular
Storage: 2 SSDs 240/120 and 2TB 3.5 Barracuda
Fans: 7 X Corsair Air Series 120mm and 5 x Corsair 140mm
Radiators: Koolance 360 TOP and koolance 280 FRONT

Hello Bomad

Welcome to the ROG forum.

Sorry to hear you're having issues, If you've determined it's the motherboard and tried updating the bios with no help the only thing to do is RMA.

Your board should have a three year warranty. 🙂

One good thing, you had it diagnosed and know what it is so you can get on the RMA immediately.
