DevTech Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 well, to be fair, those post LEDs do the same thing as a speaker so, hmmmm, if you don't get a Post-LED or beep with CPU removed, makes one lean toward the "dead motherboard" theory...

goretsky Supervisor Posted November 28, 2018 Supervisor Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hello, According to the ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING CPU Support page on ASUS' support web site, you need to have BIOS version 1002 or newer installed in order to recognize an Intel Core I9-9900K CPU. The latest BIOS foir the motherboard is version 1601, which can be downloaded from: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1151/ROG_STRIX_Z370-E_GAMING/ROG-STRIX-Z370-E-GAMING-ASUS-1601.zip I also found an article in ASUS's knowledgebase which might be of interest:FAQ 1029959: [Motherboard]Nothing shows on monitor after assembling a PC, the way of identification by connecting the buzzer It lists several PWR_LED and beep code combinations for various errors specific to the motherboard model.

Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Good catch on the CPU support. But that really puts him in a Catch-22 situation - In order BOOT he has to update the BIOS, but in order to update the BIOS, he has to BOOT!

ASUS quick USB Flash doesn't require a CPU does it? https://rog.asus.com/technology/republic-of-gamers-motherboard-innovations/usb-bios-flashback/ shouldn't be too much of an issue to update the BIOS if that's all the issue is; worth a try at least goretsky and DevTech 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpolis Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 Thank you everyone! Goretsky is right, after double checking with many other sources I found out it is a patch issue and it will not work with my current motherboard. Therefore, I have returned that motherboard and got the z390-e which is for sure compatible with this setup. I am just waiting for the board to be delivered and should be able to try it over the weekend. Have a nice weekend and thanks for the help here goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
