BOOT HELP------BIOS HELP(some basic tips that i know work in most of causes)
1. FIRST STEP
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3 to enable the CLRTC function.
3. Plug in the power cord.
4. Move the jumper cap from pins 2-3 to pins 1-2 (default).
5. Turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <DEL> key during the boot process.
7. Load Asus Profile if applicable and reboot.
IF you get it to boot,be fast to set correct voltage in bios(memory most important)
Can frezze very fast if not(same for all stepp)
2. IF 1 STEP DONT WORK NEXT STEP.
More tips here.

Check all cabels(20pin or 24pin), the 4pin 12V cord is also need to be connected)
Turn bios battery 180 then put it inn(yes wrong side inn)
Wait for 30sek.
Then but it inn right side.
Take out memorystick so you have only one.
Both stick in diffrent slot(if you have other memory try that)
Many try can suddenly boot after 30 times
Take out everything that you dont need to boot(only one HD)
TRY AGAIN.
3. SO LAST STEP
Take out cpu(yes sometime this help)
Look cpu,maybe some new thermal paste.
Make sure it clean and correct install.
Measure psu with voltmeter.
Try with other psu(some have sad that this have work for them)
-----------------------------------------------------------
If none off this work.
Try to test you cpu and videocard in an other pc.
If it work you have a dead board.
So new bios can fix this.
Here can you buy a new one.

Fast and god service
There is off course Hot-swapping search for this.
So if none off this work you have a DEAD BOARD.
------------- BIOS SETTING-----------
So some basic bios setting(that i know work in most cases)
Try to use this setting and se if it help.
Use this template to write in your setting.
Easyer to help with problem.
Rule for 680i(low volt to memory,give better stability)
High volt will easy pass memtest(but give bluscreen-frezze-lock in win)
FOR VCORE VOLT READING I ONLY TRUST EVEREST

-------TEST TO USE FOR STABLE SYSTEM--------
Mod version off prime find all core(easy to use)
http://www.esnips.com/doc/11eb1389-f289-4818-b548-7e571c4784c2/prime-quad
id=post_message_2072176>Blend should be used to test system stability If you get an error, then use Small FFT's to test if it's CPU or RAM related.
For memory(very important to test)
Memory is the nr-1 causes to bluescreen_frezze_lock

For GPU use this(works fine for nvidia)
