"When an after-market graphics card is installed into a motherboard with UEFI enabled in the system BIOS, or if the system is a certified Windows 8 PC with Secure Boot enabled, the system may not boot.

UEFI is a new system BIOS feature that is provided on most new motherboards. A UEFI system BIOS is required in order for the Windows 8 Secure Boot feature to work. Secure boot is enabled by default on certified Windows 8 PCs.

In order to get the PC to boot with a graphics card that does not contain UEFI firmware, the end-user must first disable the secure boot feature in the system's SBIOS before installing the graphics card."...

Does the motherboard read anything? I know on my really old evga board when something doesn't boot, there is a two digit combination on the board and I can reference that to help me figure out what the issue is.

Otherwise, I believe there are 'beep codes' perhaps per motherboard manufacturer(?) that tell you some information too. Any help from an asrock board search that provides any info on the particular beep you hear?
