I carefully checked the motherboard and its bottom and everything looks ok. I already tried clear cmos + intel igpu but that didn't do anything. I applied for RMA and hope I'll get a new motherboard soon.
Thanks for your help. ]]> Wed, 19 Jul 2017 22:57:48 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33245&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33245 <![CDATA[Z270M Pro 4 won't boot : I really did not understand what...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33241&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33241 Author: parsec

I really did not understand what the entire situation was just from the first post, but now I do.

Given all the things you said you tried, something obviously broke. Since you have the board out of the case, check the bottom of the board, particularly the PCIe slot solder points. Or possibly a small component on the board's top was damaged or broken off when moving the video card from slot to slot. Or possibly a static electricity discharge zapped something on the board. Or the hot environment inside the PC case from the video card caused a part on the board to fail.

Since you cannot even get the Intel iGPU to produce a signal to the monitor, and tried a different PSU, unless your memory suddenly died, about all that is left is the board has a problem. Was the video card removed from the PC when you tried to use the Intel iGPU? That would be important to do, since you could not get into the UEFI/BIOS to enable both video sources. Clearing the CMOS after removing the video card and trying the iGPU might help it work.

Besides testing the video card in another board, not much else left to do.

I am sorry to hear that Ouch

At this point your only option is to either take it in somewhere to be tested or take a chance and RMA one or both of the potential culprits.

I've tried everything I could. I did a last clear cmos with the method you provided me. I tried another PSU. I've checked pci express slots in case something was stuck in there. I've checked 2 times CPU and socket. I re built it starting from zero. And still a black screen. That's crazy all I did was switching my graphic card to another pci express slot like I did several times before. Now I don't know if it's a CPU issue or a motherboard one. ]]> Wed, 19 Jul 2017 17:04:43 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33225&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33225 <![CDATA[Z270M Pro 4 won't boot : Good luck Jeremi, let us know...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33223&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33223 Author: Xaltar

Thanks for your answer. Im going to try that but I won't be able to test the CPU as I don't have any recent other motherboard. ]]> Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:56:20 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33218&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33218 <![CDATA[Z270M Pro 4 won't boot : Carefully check for debris in...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33216&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33216 Author: Xaltar

Carefully check for debris in the PCIe slots, it is possible something conductive fell in there and is shorting. That could cause the board's protections to trigger and prevent post.

Aside from that and what has already been mentioned in this thread my only other suggestion is to check for burned contacts on the PSU connectors and maybe clear CMOS again by pulling the battery like Wardog mentioned.

Use this method to be sure it clears properly:

If all that fails you will need to start testing individual components in another system as far as you can. These are the most irritating type of issue to deal with, when something seemingly simple causes a system failure Cry

I've also checked the CPU and if there was any bent pin in the socket but everything looks fine. ]]> Wed, 19 Jul 2017 14:34:35 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33215&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33215 <![CDATA[Z270M Pro 4 won't boot : I just tried with dvi and another...]]> https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5626&PID=33208&title=z270m-pro-4-wont-boot#33208 Author: Jeremi

I just tried with dvi and another monitor : no difference.
Yes I have only real pc monitors.
