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!

It's maybe also worth noting that sometimes when I get the 00 code, after restarting the pc I get a message on my screen '' Overclocking failed please enter setup'' So I enter the bios trough setup, restart the pc without changing anything, and again works fine and keeps working fine. Everthing is stock I have nothing overclocked. Also the ram is 3333mhz 1.35volt with xmp settings. I tried turning XMP off and let the ram run auto at 2133mhz, made no difference.

How to Fix 'Error Q-Code 00' on ASUS Motherboard
April 29, 2024 - Instable Overclocking – If you overclocked the frequencies and voltages of your CPU, GPU or RAM, you can also expect this motherboard error to occur due to general system instability. In this case, you should reset your overclocked values back to their defaults and see if the issue is now fixed. 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.
