Hi I've been having some problems with my gpu not starting and some other case fans. I have a evga 750w and i dont know if it is my faulty wiring or my psu. Should I get somewhere between a 850w and 1000w? Please tell me what would be enough.
 
Solution
Rather than a video, can you download HWMonitor and AIDA64 to your desktop and put them side by side.
I would like you to run a series of stress tests, then post the results and link here.
You can use IMIGUR to host your desktop pics. Obtain the BB url for your link.

I want to see Voltages from your HWMonitor during each test on the 12v, 3v, 5v rails.

First run a test on the CPU and FPU for ten mins and stop the test if temps reach 80c.
Then run a test on the GPU for ten mins.
Take screen shots whilst under load at the 10min mark.
Has this just started happening or what.?
List your system specs for better analysis.

The PSU certainly has enough Wattage. That its functioning correctly, well that we don't know.
If it continues and you suspect the PSU then swap it out with a known working unit of same or higher Wattage.

Do you have all sockets occupied on the MB, 24pin, 8pin, 4pin and pushed in well.?
Check all cables and connections.

My system specs are here...
MOBO : ASROCK Extreme4 X99
CPU : i7 6800k Liquid cooled
GPU : GTX 970
RAM : Team Vulcan DDR4 3000mhz
PSU : EVGA 750w bronze
CASE : Corsair 750D
HDD : 1TB WD BLUE

Should I post a video because I have just upgraded to the i7 6800k and X99 Extreme4.
Everything powers on just perfect... for about 15 seconds and then the gpu powers off. This never happened with the old motherboard and everything is plugged in correct.
Do I have to update my bios or is my gpu broken or are the pci's broken?
I will post a video on youtube later and link it.

I'm not having problems with my CPU it's my gpu that will not powet on it starts for 15 seconds and then the fans on the gpu stop and nothing boots and I never reach the bios
 
OK well pull out the GPU and clean the terminals with ISOPRO 95%. Blow out the PCIe socket with compressed air from a canister and only do this with the power disconnected.

Check all cabling and connections. swap out the cables and check for possible contamination.

As you don't have onboard iGPU then the only way to determine if the GPU is at fault is to swap it out.

Ok I have made some progress and I know the problem I don't know how to cleAR the cmos and update the bios if you could please guide me that would be amazing. The gpu turns on and stays on it just doesn't give me a display
 


On the rear IO panel there is a clear CMOS button you can use or on the MB itself there is a clear CMOS jumper pin located bottom right. Clear your CMOS prior to Bios flash.

For a Bios update go here: http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/x99%20extreme4/?cat=Download&os=BIOS
Follow the Bios flash guide that is there with the red + sign.
Please report back.

Unplug all of your peripherals (keyboard, mouse, etc), take out the video card, remove all but 1 stick of RAM and leave it in the far left RAM slot, remove all hard drives. All that should be connected to your PSU are your motherboard, CPU, your CPU cooler, your case headers and fans, and the single RAM stick. Use the dedicated graphics output of your motherboard and connect your monitor this way. See if your computer boots into BIOS. If it does, start adding back components one at a time and check to see if it continues to boot (RAM, then harddrives, then GPU).

I've used the EVGA Bronze series power supplies before for customer builds and I can tell you they are complete garbage. For Gold and Platinum, EVGA uses SeaSonic manufactured PSUs which are top of the line. The Bronze are made by Compucase, which have never lasted past a year for me. If I had to guess what is wrong with your system, I would say its PSU related.

Should I keep a jumper on when I start my pc? I have the CLR_CMOS1 and I have BIOS_SEL1 to select a bios I assume but it will not start up. AND I cannot see my monitor if I unplug my gpu.
 
If you use the internal CMOS jumper then jump the pin with only power to the MB. Once the pin has been jumped, then replace it back into its original position. Best is to use the rear IO button for clearing CMOS.

You should download the correct Bios file to a USB stick formatted to Fat32.
Insert the USB with the downloaded Bios file into one of your USB ports.
Go to your Bios>Tools section and select "Instant flash" which should automatically detect the Bios file on the USB.

Like I said, You do not have iGPU as an alternative to test if the GPU is at fault and no guarantee that a Bios flash will resolve your issue. If Bios flash does not work then you will have to test the GPU in another system or take it to your local computer store to test.
If it tests OK then your problem is with the MB itself.
