" rel="nofollow - I?™m getting no video upon start up from my Z270 Extreme4 mobo. Lights from the mobo are on, all fans are running. Looks like it?™s trying to load BIOS B based on the light that?™s on. I?™ve seen a lot of people have his issue and it?™s always something different that solves it. So far I have: Tried various RAM configurations Unplugged my GPU from the board Checked the CPU power in is connected Unplugged the SATA connectors from storage Basically everything I can think of Setup is: i7-7700k EVGA G3 750W G Skill 8GBx2 3200 Corsair H100i V2 Any help is great!!! Do I need a BIOS update for this RAM? And don?™t give me the run around like everyone else because as I?™ve noted, it?™s been done. |

" rel="nofollow - Did you breadboard test the motherboard, cpu and ram before mounting in the case ? what do you mean by "Unplugged my GPU from the board" ? You did not list your GPU (usually means add-on PCIe video card). Does the onboard video work ? ------------- https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V9/display.php?id=99573335296 |

" rel="nofollow - I did not breadboard before installing it into the case. Do I need to? Yes it was connected to the PCIe. I didn?™t list the GPU because it?™s irrelevant, since it?™s not connected. I?™m using only the connections from the motherboard to test the video. |

" rel="nofollow - No you do not need to breadboard but many builders do it to make sure board, cpu and ram work proper before mounting in a case. If you look down by the BIOS chips there is a two pin header just right of BIOS A1, is there a jumper on it ? It sounds like the board has an issue and you should contact Asrock Tech support, usually BIOS B is only used if corruption happens with BIOS A or is switched/jumpered to run backup BIOS B. ------------- https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V9/display.php?id=99573335296 |

Dear VonConstantine,
Thank you for choosing ASRock.
Regarding your question, there is no jumper next
to the BIOS ROM chip. Z270 Extreme4 has two BIOS ROM chip and will
automatically back up BIOS B to BIOS A when BIOS A is corrupted. We provide some suggestion to try. 1.
Clear CMOS to load BIOS default. Please check user
manual p20 to clear CMOS. http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/Z270%20Extreme4.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/Z270%20Extreme4.pdf 2.
Please check power supply is plug properly
and power supply switch is on. 3.
Only install CPU and one stick memory to
check if the system can boot into BIOS properly. 4.
Please try to install one stick memory at
A1, B1, A2 and B2 slot to check if the system can boot into BIOS properly. 5.
Reinstall CPU and check if CPU socket pin is
fine. 6.
If it is possible, please change another CPU
or DRAM to check if the system can boot into BIOS properly.
Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |
