Since I pretty much tried everything and never seem to of found what's wrong with this stupid board but anyways there's no physical damage on it ie no burnt chips dents scratches or scorch marks nb looks fine the board is
Asus m5a99fx pro r2.0
it has a detachable bios chip that's probably what might be wrong so i took it out and inserted it backwards (purposely) left it on for a good while shutdown the pc i touches it lol and it burned my fingers but anyways I took it out put it back in its place and it does the samething as before same symptoms no beeps no post no display hdds and fans rev up no error leds either
so what i want to know does insertin it backwards fry it? If it does I might of just found the problem. the board is fullu functional usbs charge while off responds to power anf reset buttons etc and if I'm correct w.o nb usbs don't work right?

If you put it in backwards you are more than likely applying power to data pins etc.. and that will of in turn permanently damaged the chip. From the sounds of it your mobo was defective and now you've voided your warranty by doing that!

I would have returned it if that was an option and I don't think a backwards bios. chip would damage anything cause nothing happened if i put it on backwards the cpu error light goes on but that also happens if the chip itself is not present anyways i put it back on everything seems to be functioning still no post of course but when inserted properly there's no error codes or beeps I just wanted to make sure I killed the chip motherboard wasn't deffective it was working for a while, then one day i did a slight oc to the nb with no voltage added had it on auto then it was posting and boom it froze during post so i haf to flip the switch off that's when problems occured yes i swapped cpu gpu psu ram even tried it out of the box ontop of cardboard did everything possible and only thing i could come up with is i fried the bios during the post when it froze.
