Asus Maximus VI GENE Will not post (00 code)

None of the red LED's are lit for failed hardware, and the code means 'not used'. I didn't do any overclocking. I'm not getting any beep codes. I tried updating/downgrading the BIOS. Tried another PSU (known good, I am using it right now). Checked the RAM for issues, it is good. unplugged any non essential components, and resetting the CMOS. All to no avail.

CPU: i7 4770 (non k)
RAM: 1866 DDR3 Geil Evo Veloce
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI GENE (BIOS is on original release)
PSU: 1000W semi modular Thermaltake Smart-M Series
Case: Corsair Air Series 540
SSD: Crucial M500 120GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm
GPU: MSI GTX 770 2GB OC (not currently installed both to rule it out as a culprit and keep it safe in my old system)

I was hoping someone would have some knowledge on these motherboards and could provide any recommendations or RMA won't have it back to me until next Thursday at the earliest.

Yeah I ran through it last night, I always use that list in case I miss anything. Good recommendation though. I am glad that was the first post I got, makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

That's too bad. That post covers pretty much any human error when building the system. It means you probably have dead hardware. Luckily you were able to swap out the PSU and rule that out. And you're not using graphics cards so that's out. Tested ram and tried in different slots so that's out. Checked cpu for bent pins so that's out... motherboard.... damn.

Yeah I was just hoping to get back into development this weekend but oh well. Next weekend is a three day so I will have more time anyway, and I will pick up another monitor as well. Got to watch those tut's

That RAM isn't on the QVL list is it? I have this same board and I've come to realize that it is EXTREMELY sensitive to RAM. I had four sticks that are known to be good, and are in use in two of my other builds (Two 8GB- 4x4 kits). They gave the same Q Codes (00) and wouldn't work. When I went out and bought 1866 Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM that was on the QVL, everything worked fine. Now, you very well could have a dead board, but I would definitely try to find some RAM that is on the QVL, if you haven't already, and see if that will fix your issue.

It is. I actually just RMAed the board long ago. New one works great. The RAM defaults to 1600 due to the CPU but XMP profiles solve that in a jiffy. This was my first ROG board, I still like them the new one is chugging along without an issue. I definitely feel its important to keep in mind not every product with semiconductor technology in it well work flawlessly.
