Have you tried performing a clear CMOS? Code 00 is basically before the mobo starts testing the CPU in the first place. Does this happen only in Windows? There were some Asus BIOS versions that didn't play well with software like Argus monitor and the mobo would crash to post code 00 due to that. Answer from Elianor_tijo on reddit.com

Asus Q-code 00 help

So my GPU died in early 2021 and due to the prices I wasn’t able to get a new one. I got a 3080 recently as the prices have cooled down. I also got a new cpu cooler(Noctua D15). My cpu is the i9-9900k and my mobo is ASUS MAXIMUS hero XI (wifi).

After I installed the GPU and cooler the pc booted with q-code 00. Later, it booted successfully for the first time in like over a year. Then it crashed again with the code 00. Now when I try to turn it on it will either boot successfully for like 10 minutes then shut down again, or just not POST at all. Also the fans don’t turn on when the error is there.

I did research and apparently it is either a dead cpu or a dead mobo, but I really don’t want to get a new cpu or mobo and I don’t have any spare parts. I reseated the ram and tried various configurations, so it isn’t the ram. I also reseated the cpu and cooler, to no avail. If anyone has any advice please let me know. Thanks!

This may be a stupid/simple question to ask, but did you ground yourself? Because about a month ago I was messing with system to switch my PSU, but kinda forgot/lost myself to ground myself and so I kinda shocked my board. So I went back to the place it was built and fixed it. I remember my builder was talking something about draining the capacitors on the mobo by plugging in their 4 pin power connector next to the 8 pin CPU power connector then unplug it and disable it after it was done. That connector is unnecessary unless you need more voltage for OC, but it may be the cause. If everything is the same parts from your old case, this might be your cause. I'm not saying it IS, but it's just a possibility. So that was my experience with the x99 boards, I did not know there was an extra 4 pin power connector to begin with, so I had to get a new PSU. I have no clue how he drained them though, so I can't help you with that part, maybe Google it something if this is your case. I hope this helps at least a little :)

Hi Problem could also be the PSU do you have a known good working spare PSU? If a modular PSU have the cables been connected correctly at PSU end? I am supprised you are able to flash the bios or know that it suceeded without any display Problem more likely to be motherboard than CPU A lower power PSU may work if the graphics card not plugged in a few more thoughts check cmos clear jumper is in correct location (read the user guide/manual) check cpu and RAM is on supported list at Asus web site regards Mike Barnes

December 29, 2015 - Q Code 00 is not used. It will most likely by D0 which is "CPU Initialisation Error". Can be caused by faulty power delivery from Caps etc. Try either dropping your OC slightly or increasing the Vcore to see if the problem persists.

How to Fix 'Error Q-Code 00' on ASUS Motherboard
April 29, 2024 - As it turns out, one of the most common reasons that might be causing the 00 Q error code is an inconsistency that’s perpetuated by the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) battery. In most cases, this particular ASUS Q error is caused by some type of corrupted data that’s preserved in-between startups and needs to be cleared.
