I got my Asrock Z270 extreme 4 because I had 2 other motherboards that were incompatible with my 7700k and I didn't know they had to be until just recently, felt like I could trust asrock as my old motherboard that worked was also made by them.
I got everything plugged in, made sure 100 times that it's all in tight and in correctly, my 8pin power plug is a CPU cord and not a PCIe one, I wanted to test my motherboard turns on with a garbage graphics card (GT 740) before I put a beefy RTX 2070 in since it's a lot easier to remove a 740. I tried putting one stick into the B2 slot like someone else suggested on other posts, and my PSU is brand new (OCZ ZX 850w Gold) so I HIGHLY doubt it's that. Need some advice. |

Dear oKei,
Thank you for choosing ASRock. Please try to clear CMOS by moving the CMOS jumper and remove the CMOS battery. User manual page 20: http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/Z270%20Extreme4.pdf Also, please make sure to put back the CMOS jumper before start up the system. Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

Hey, thanks for the reply but still no response from the computer. Lights on the motherboard still flicker but nothing happens when I hit the power button. Are the lights supposed to stay on on the motherboard?

Check the CPU socket for damage, bent pins etc. Try a known good power supply.
