If your motherboard powers on and the LED's are lighting up and the fans all start spinning but you are getting a black screen then its gotta be either a memory or video card or bios related issue. Did you unzip or unrar the bios file image and rename it to the needed file name before adding it to the flash drive?? As Asus bios 99% of the time have to be renamed to work.
Next, to do a bios flash back you dont even need to power on the motherbord and you dont need ram or the cpu even installed. Just stick the flash drive with the correct bios into the USB slot while the motheroard is powered off and hold the bios flash back button down till the little LED starts flashing then wait like 10 to 20 mins for the LED to turn off as when it turns off the flash is all done and you will be all set. Are all your molex power connectors pluged in and maybe double check that you have a solid connection from the video card to your monitor or tv.
Not sure if any of this is gonna help but I am trying for ya and I wish ya the best of luck.I know broken hardware can be very frustrating
Sadly, the Prime x370-pro does not have flashback. I know this because Asus just emailed me about my bricked prime. They are willing to RMA mine but I think I'll try returning it to Newegg first.
Looks like the 5820k is going back in, for now...
Edit: Newegg authorized the return, so looks like I lucked out.
