Hello, Im having an issue with my build and here's my spec:

asus m5a99FX r2.0
amd fx-8350
patriot 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
msi gtx 660 ti
WD 1TB black
LG cd drive
cooler master 650w psu

My problem is that the board will not post. Everything is plugged in. the case fans, cpu fans, graphic card's fans run perfectly, there are no error LED lights that flash or stay on. but my monitor does not show anything. I even try a different graphic card but same thing happen. Also there is no beep code either. I also try using different slot for the graphic card but failed too :(

I was wondering if it is my board's error or any other parts error that I do not know of.
 
Hi, The 8350 requires the 1006 BIOS version.
Check on the motherboard for a barcode sticker. The last 4 digits stand for the board's BIOS version.
If older than 1006, use the flashback for updating the BIOS (check the manual). Make sure you don't forget renaming the file.
If not sure how to use the flashback, post back.
 
I guess that the board is M5A99FX PRO R2.0.
Just to make sure you've followed the right steps:
Download the latest BIOS from http://usa.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/M5A99FX_PRO_R20/#download
Unzip and rename it to M5A99FX.CAP
Save it on a FAT formatted USB drive.
Insert the drive in the Flashback USB port (the one near the white audio jack).
Don't start the board. Just make sure that the power supply is connected and on.
Press the flashback button for 3 seconds.
