Computer won't show display help

[petepete]

Hi everyone, so my cousin is having a problem with his computer, he cannot get into bios and there is no display when he turns the power on. He has reassembled the PC reseated everything, changed graphics cards, Reset the CMOS (and hard reset), he put one stick of RAM in and left the computer overnight with the CMOS out.

His specs

X99 Sabertooth
i7 5820k
EVGA Supernova 1300W
980's in SLI

When he uses this App to start the computer it passes the mem test but it says it fails at initialusb 0003
He unplugged all of the USB components and one weird thing he noticed is that the computer keeps trying to start up with the CPU Voltage at 1.82 volts.

He told me he went to the bios and pressed reset to factory settings and then the computer did not start up again.
He tried using the USB flash drive with a bunch of bios' changing the names and the formats FAT32 etc. to no avail.. It blinks as if it is downloading the bios from the flash drive then it stops.. We are really stumped.. He basically reassembled his whole PC , the fans work, the mem test passes,

Just some cryptic initialusb 0003 error that I can't diagnose..

Help?

ANY body have any idea what this could be?

Did your friend try with out sli being active? Does your friend use a multi monitor set up? Did your friend allow his Nvidia suite to be updated to the most very recent one? If so then that might be an issue if he is running dual monitor config and SLI. Good luck! Welcome back to TPU

Thank you for your reply, He has tried individually each card to no avail, VGA light stays on. He has one monitor, drivers and suite most updated. Thanks for the warm welcome but I've been here since 2005

How did the issue happen to begin with? What was your friend doing when it first came up?

 

[petepete]

I will ask him, but not sure that will do anything because he cannot even get into bios

ask him these too >>> it to my above edit >>> How did the issue happen to begin with? What was your friend doing when it first came up?

EDIT: Also your friends system looks like a nice config!

I am trying to get a hold of him right now he is at work, but from my understanding nothing out of the ordinary, thank you for the kind words PS he is my cousin, not my friend (that too)

Get the newest bios and put it on usb stick and flash the bios. Here is how http://event.asus.com/2012/mb/USB_BIOS_Flashback_GUIDE/

I will tell him, he keeps saying he has tryied and flashed multiple bios' with different names to no avail, it starts blinking as if it is downloading/installing and then stops suddenly

 

[X800]

This is the newest http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb...3402.zip?_ga=1.64169071.1161024031.1477294033

So he did exactly as stated and to no avail.. He keeps saying the computer tries to start at 1.82 volts and there's nothing he can do about it.. He believes that may be the problem.. Is there any way to lower the voltage without going into BIOS? (tried clearing CMOS multiple times/hard reset)

 

[X800]

I would take the board out of the case and try then .How about faulty power supply, memory not compatible with board !. If he has spare parts try them like memory etc.

 

[eidairaman1]

It sounds to me the board is bad.

 

[petepete]

So he did the bios flash exactly according to ASUS to no avail. Memory has worked for him for over a year now and the power is running to everything - I am guessing it's the motherboard as well

 

[sneekypeet]

If the PC won't boot, and he cannot get into bios, where is he reading 1.82CPUV?

 

[DRDNA]

I really doubt it is the MOBO.

 

[petepete]

He used an app on his phone which shows his voltage
