I have a z97 build and I recently decided to make two upgrades. First, I wanted to add an internal card for an additional USB 3.0 header (for a card reader), and I wanted to add another 8GB RAM stick. The first time I tried to install the PCI-E USB card, the computer would turn on (case fans spinning, no display, no power to keyboard, mouse light blinks if you click but other than that no power.)
No issues when I took the card out, but the same thing happened when I tried to put in the extra RAM stick. I tried to put the RAM in every available slot and it didn't work with either than them. It's not the RAM stick since I plugged the stick I've been using into the other slots and it didn't work. I'm confused as to what could be happening, any advice? I've tried resetting CMOS, tried both RAM sticks in the working slot (both work) and RAM upgrade without additional USB header, USB header without additional RAM, nothing is working. Most posts on here point to CMOS, but since it's not that could there be anything else I should try before writing it off as a bad mobo?
