Next day i try to turn on PC, it does not boot and the mobos speaker makes a tick sound every 3 seconds exactly, till shut down.
All fans and leds work but not the gpu, mouse, keyboard etc.
I removed gpu and all hdds to test if it was one of those and nothing.

So i was wondering if someone knew what does a tick every 3 seconds mean?

Specs: intel i5 4690k
mobo: Gigabyte ga-z97x-ud3h
ram: 2x 4gb adata 1600mhz
gpu: r9 270x 2gb sapphire
Psu: Rosewill 750w 80+gold

Thank you

OK so this is what you should do, remove the RAM and if you still have the sound, removing the processor, leave the motherboard with no part on it (just the power supply connected) and if you still have the sound then you have a mobo problem.
If the sound dissapears after you remove your RAM, its your RAM which makes problem

Do you get to your mobo logo? can you access the bios? or when you turn on your pc you have just a black screen and sound from the speaker? and is the sound beep or can you describe it better?

It doesnt get to the logo screen, no bios, just black screen.
The sound is like a "tick"
Also if i try place the gpu, it wont power it, only tries to start the fans at the same rate of the speaker tick.

Indeed after removing ram and assigning it to other slots and removing and placing back the processor made it boot successfully.
Started adding hdds and gpu, where this last one strangely didnt turn on, moving it from the pciex16 to the pciex8 and back fixed that too.
Im guessing it was a mobo circuit protection or a ram slot.
Thanks for the help.
