AsRock Z77 Extreme4 turning on problems

What happens when u press the start button on the mobo itself?

Nothing, I'll triple check everything right now and give you a definite response.

Yep, nothing happened.

I mean the PWR BTN1, next to the digits on the left.

Do u have the 8pin and 24pin plugged in?

Can u post a pic of your system?

OK, post your specs...

RAM: with link please.
Motherboard:

HDD: /SSD

Pressed that one. I do have the 8-pin and 24-pin plugged in. If it means anything, the 8pin was split into 2 4-pins for my last mobo. I'll post pics shortly.

Is it inside of the case or outside?

Or did u test it outside of the case?

BTW, u did used the stand offs? Right?

Honestly not sure what you mean by stand offs D:

Make sure that 4/8-pin CPU power is a 12v ATX connector. Not the one for the GPU.

That ^.

Can u unplug the the System Panel Header wires from your case.

Just make sure that is not the problem.

Did anything powered on? The CPU fan?

Is the CPU fan plugged in?

Did you turn on the power supply switch on the back of the PSU?

I can't unplug them from the case, sadly; they're trapped in a small mesh cage at the front of the case. The case is quite old, so it might have just died on me.

I used the stand offs and I checked the GPU cables and suprise! I didn't have my GPU plugged in. Could that have stopped a power on?

Pics are taking a while, sorry.

Everything is on. The CPU fan was plugged in, but when I turned the PC on, nothing moved.

Yes, no GPU power, no boot. That's why I asked you for the ...

What is the type of connection?

HDMI? In the GPU?

What about the fan in the PSU? Does it go on?

Fan in the PSU does not go on. Connection to the GPU is PCIe 3.0.

Check the PSU with paper clip.

I meantthe connection to GPU : ) HDMI or DVI? Or the one on the mobo?

But, now check the PSU first.

PSU works fine. Makes sense since it's only a couple months old.

The paper clip doesn't exclude the PSU. It just show, that it starts. That is all.

Do u have the power cable in the GPU card?

Yep, I have the PCI-E cables from the PSU in the GPU.

Is the RAM locked in?

Is this the first run of this PC?

Did u test it outside of the case with RAM and GPU in it?

The RAM is locked in and this is its first run. How do you test it outside of the case?

Going to test it again with the GPU plugged in.

Before u install everything in the case to find out that its not working.

Can u put it outside and on the paper box it came in.

With RAM + GPU card installed and plugged in the LCD.

Yeah, I can do that. What is the LCD, though?(A bit new to PC's)

If that doesn't work, I would think its the PSU or the mobo.

One of them could be dead.

The screen, the monitor : )

By outside you mean unplug all the cables and then connect the monitor to it while it's not plugged to anything else?(Just making sure)

No. Remove it out of the case, the mobo and PSU.

Plug it in the mobo outside of the case on the box u got it in.

CPU has to be installed. Check if it is correctly installed. Than the RAM, also installed.

Than the PSU connected with 8pin/24pin/CPU fan connected to the mobo as well.

Than connect the GPU to your monitor, plug the monitor in the power.

It should boot in the BIOS only.

If not, its bad PSU or mobo.

Gonna do this, just don't have time today. My PSU came with an 8-pin, but my old mobo had a 4-pin, so I split it(like the directions said) into 2 4-pins. Does this make a difference?

I plugged everything back in and put in the power plug. My headset lights came on and the LAN Port LED flashed orange, which means "data activity". Any insight on where to go from here?

So I know this thread is from last year, but I am curious if you ever got this resolved. I just purchased the same board, and I am having the exact same issues. Paperclip test passes, but nothing happens when I press the Power Button.

Yeah, I just got it replaced with the warranty I bought with the board. New one worked like a charm.

I Just got this yesterday and got the same problem. Makes me wonder how many faulty boards get out from production ...
