Sorry folks something is indeed up with the files I flashed the Pro version to my board based on Dees results to troubleshoot the issue and you guessed it.. no POST. I've submitted an RMA with the place I bought it from. In my case perhaps its not a bad thing though, occasionally I was getting the CPU fan error message pop up on POST, so looks like the CPU fan sensor was starting to go out already

We have learned something though, the massive epic fail of the supposed "crashfree BIOS 3" procedures. I started in baby steps to find what was causing the issues Dee was having so the first thing I did was keep everything as-is and just rename a few things. A very minor adjustment, which means the boot block was completely unchanged. So to not even get the BB coming up after the flash.. well thats not something I did its something asus did wrong. for asus, and from me to all those who suffered the same fate as I have.
