Hey, thanks for the response.
I have a power meter and 4 running at full speed hashing takes about 1000 watts/hr. Pretty sure it's not a power issue. And yea, I know 5d relates to memory, but I can't see that being an issue since everything works fine with 4 cards. System usage seems fine. I set the swap file to 16GB minimum. CPU and Mem usage both avg about 10%. In Bios literally everything is disabled that I can find. Everything works great until I stick that 5th card in a slot (you can see the riser sitting idle off the the side in the pic).
The fact that it wont post says to me its a mainboard issue. If I had problems on boot, or once in windows it'd be a different story. So, still hoping someone has a hail mary solution cuz this is my first asrock MB and at this rate with all the wasted hours - its going to be my last.
And yea, that's my build on the "rack". Pretty easy/cheap to throw it together if you have the tools.
