So new, unproven in use PSU, which won't start when a video card is connected to it. You've also tried three different video cards with the same result. Otherwise the PC works using the Intel integrated graphics and no video card.
The PSU would be what I would suspect first, particularly if the three video cards were different models.
Also, if you just unplug the power cable(s) from the video card, with the card still in the PCIe slot (as you seemed to say), and the PC booted, I'd have that PSU out of that PC and replaced with another PSU, even temporarily, before trying anything else.
About your memory. Full model number of the memory, please.
You seem to have four DIMMs, but can use only two at a time. Are they all from the same kit, or bought separately?
There are four ASRock boards with "Z97 Killer" in the model name. Please be more specific.

I have two issues, the most important is that my graphics card will not let me boot. If I plug the power into the card 8Pin+6Pin, and I try to start the machine the PS just makes a click and nothing happens.. if I remove the power to the GPU it boots without an issue... I've tried 3 cards... I tried also moving to the other PCI-E port available on the MB but the same thing happens... I am plugged into the On-Board video and everything is fine.. but I want to install this card... I've update the Bios to the latest.. 2.51... I updated all the drivers... I am running out of ideas... My second issue is Ram... I have Kingston Hyperbeast 8 GB sticks... i can only use two of them ... if i go above that i get the 4 beeps and no boot... I tried swapping the sticks and same issue so I know the sticks are good... Help.. i'm very frustrated. Thanks... |
