Hey all,
since the day I bought the mobo, around 16mo ago, I had issues with it. It used to boot loop quite often, but I always though it was because of the OC and since keeping the rig ON for weeks/months at a time I didn't care much.
Now after a hard reset (because I disabled LAN for a moment and would hang when trying to enable it again) every time I press Del/F2 it reset again.
Sometimes goes up to the next screen and asks for F1 but that's the farther it goes.
Sometimes hangs on DEL screen but most of the time just loops. The codes I get are sometimes A2, sometimes 99, B4, B6.
Tried taking out the battery, tried booting without drives, with only 1 RAM, and just USB keyboard, nothing helped. Tried USB flashing the BIOS on standby just using the USB Bios Fashback button and I think it went ok since when restarting i got the "wait your bios is updating" message but went back to the not POSTing issue.

The rig is:
Asus x99-e WS
Intel i7-5960X
Cooler Master Nepton 240 liquid cooler
Corsair AX-1200 PSU
G.Skill 64GB-2800 DDR4
AsusStrix GTX980
2xSSD Samsung 850Pro 512GB
SSD Samsung 850Pro 256GB
SSD OCZ Vector 256GB

Ideas?

After a LOOONG process of asking the retailer for a RMA number, then sending (at no expense) the MoBo to the regional ASUS "certified" collaborator, I find out the MoBo is beyond repair and the retailer didn't had it on stock so offered two options: choose another product or ask for money back. I took the money. And today I finally got them.
Now I'll buy a ROG(Asus Rampage V Edition 10) from Amazon. NEVER again small retailers. RMA for ASUS it's a pain in the as5 especially with small retailers.
