Will try in the morning.  Are one of these the "ME UPDATE" jumpers?  Left one says FLASH_OVERRIDE, top right BIOS WP??  Directly below is CMOS reset which is the only jumper setting I'm sure of.

OK, use FLASH_OVERRIDE

Is it with modded BIOS?
Did you change FLASH_OVERRIDE position?

Yes, with modded bios.  Board has everything removed from it other than essentials (hdmi to monitor on onboard display output, keyboard, mouse, and usb stick).  Tried it w/ the flash_override in both positions.  

There is only 2 files on the stick for the flash is that enough?  The FWUPDCL executable and the BIN file. I put them in a separate directory/folder than the DOS files.  There are no other driver files associated with the flash?

3. Copy all files from folder \Intel ME System Tools v8 r3\FWUpdate\Local-DOS\ to DOS USB stick.

There is only 1 file, the executable.

Try do it from Windows command line with administrative rights.
Windows tool - \Intel ME System Tools v8 r3\FWUpdate\Local-Win\FWUpdLcl.exe
Also make a screenshot of MEInfo's results (\Intel ME System Tools v8 r3\MEInfo\Windows\MEInfoWin.exe)

Errors on both

Also just put back in the i7 and tried the ME commands, same error prompts.  Put in a different GPU as well to try and same thing, no boot just black screen and flashing _.
