Ok so I was just working on getting my 1st ever PC together and for some reason I can't get to the BIOS screen no matter what I do. I have done all the troubleshooting possible but the screen just won't come on. I even sent my mobo back because I thought it was faulty. Still nothing coming up! I usually get an error code FE/64/99. Those are the 3 most common. I have read the manual but it's not helping me any. Frustration doesn't even begin to describe what I'm feeling. Anyone that can offer me some help would be great! Specs are below

Specs:

MB - ASUS Maximus VII Hero
CPU - Intel i5-4690k
RAM - 2x 8gb G. Skill TridentX DDR3
Power - NZXT Hale90 V2 850w
GPU - 2x Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970


Seriously guys ANYTHING would be helpful at this point. I have tried booting with CPU, RAM, GPU but nothing is coming up on the screen! When I boot with nothing in the mobo except the power it reads a 00 error message. I tried booting with just the CPU in and no RAM or GPU and the bios would still not come up! No beeps no nothing! Guys I;m on the verge of returning everything and I really don't want to. Again ANY AND ALL help is apprecaited! Thank you!!!

Here is from asus BIOS 0609 ( 6/5/14) : Enhance compatibility for new Anniversary Edition and Devil's Canyon CPU. http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_HERO/HelpDesk_Download/

Also error message 00 is the not used, you can google it for what it means.
Because 4690K is the haswell refresh cpu, you need update the BIOS by using USB BIOS flashback. http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/usb_bios_flashback_guide/

Download the BIOS, rename the BIOS file to XXX.CAP, check that link for example. And update the BIOS, and you will be able to boot the PC,
