After installing a new Crosshair V Formula-Z motherboard the first startup showed that had BIOS 0508. The ASUS website said that my CPU (AMD FX6350) was supported in BIOS 0803 or later. Using a USB Stick I upgraded to 1503. After that it wouldn't POST. I then downgraded the BIOS to 0704.
Now the board has the VGA LED lit and a Q-Code of C6. What does this code mean? The q-code list published in the manual does not have any codes starting with C. Is there a link to the complete q-code list?
More importantly, how do I get the motherboard to work, at this point I can't get to BIOS settings or anything.|

According to ASUS technical support, the Q-Code C6 (and C5) are undocumented.
They also stated that there is not a definitive list of Q-Codes available on the web.
At their direction I returned the motherboard and got a replacement.
