I just installed a new mobo (m5a99x evo r2.0) and when I turn it on, the CPU fan runs, and I can open the BIOS, but cannot get my PC to boot. It fails every time. The 'boot_device_led' is red, but I'm not sure what to do about that.

I heard about BIOS Flashback, do I need to do that?

I means your system doesn't detect any boot device that has an operating system on it (i.e. Windows 7/8 DVD, Linux DVD, Hard disk, SSD). Did you installed a operating system already? Check the connections between your hard disk/ssd to your motherboard. Make sure the power cable is inserted correctly too.
