Hi Gib007 🙂 I'm pretty sure you know the answer and I concur with your findings. 😞
Unfortunately Qcode 00 is a difficult one to determine and usually involves a benchtest outside the case.
As the CPU_LED is lit then, its as you say either MB or CPU and my bet its the CPU. Your going to have to check both.
In other situations where iv'e encountered Qcode 00, Iv'e benchtested starting in minimalist state, then added one component at a time checking my Qcodes as I go till the culprit is found.
Its not always the CPU or MB and can be the PSU. If you haven't got parts to swap out then RMA both.

Hi all,
Last night I had been using my computer as any normal day for the last year and a half since I built it. No problems whatsoever. Today I wake up, switch it on and it would only stay on for a second before switching off automatically. I unplugged the PSU for a few minutes, plugged it back in and this time it would start but it wouldn't boot at all (no POST).
The QLED code displayed is 00 and the CPU LED behind the 24-pin power connector is on solid red. Nothing comes out of the speaker plugged into the motherboard. I have disconnected all SATA devices, removed the graphics card and sound card and removed all four RAM sticks. The computer is now just the CPU, the CPU cooler and the motherboard (with the PSU of course).
Nothing I do appears to fix this. I have tried resetting the BIOS and even flashing it to the latest version via the dedicated ROG Connect button as per the motherboard manual. Switching BIOS to BIOS 2 doesn't fix it either.
I think it may be time to RMA something, but I'm not 100% sure if to RMA the motherboard or the CPU. It's either one for sure. Past experience tells me the CPU is the culprit because NOTHING is processed and the lack of RAM doesn't make the motherboard complain. What do you think?
My motherboard is the original Rampage V Extreme and I had been running BIOS version 3101 for a few weeks now without a hitch. My CPU is an Intel Core i7-5820K. Thank you in advance!
