Sean-

Setup is near identical to yours porina

32GB 3200 Ripjaw (2x16), 1000w platinum EVGA PSU, connected to GFX card yes, ive tried swapping them around etc, ive been able to get into windows, downloaded all drivers etc, was even able to play Overwatch, then the screen flickering started, then the bios update, then nothing I have windows on a USB as a boot disk, ill try putting that in when booting, other than that, you think a different mobo?

Right I'm not sure where to start. My system is: Asus Maximus Hero VIII i7-6700k 2x Samsung 850 1TB SSD 2x Zotac 980 GTX TI AMP EXTREME Corsair H100i cooler This is a new build and I've had non stop problems! Firstly my screen keeps flickering so I was doing some investigating I managed to finally install Windows 10 Home 64b, I had SSD set in raid0 properly, system seemed to be working apart from the screen flickering and losing signal? I made sure everything was seated properly etc I then realized the bios was out of date so I flashed the new bios using the software on the hero VIII and a USB stick. All updated fine Now I cannot boot up to Windows. I cannot get to the Intel screen to check the raid0 is still configured after the bios update I'm stuck in a continuos loop where it just restarts to bios and I can't do anything else Im getting Q code AE, then A9 Im so frustrated right now I've had problem after problem for 3 days Ive researched everything online and nothing is similar to my problem or if it is similar the advice doesn't work Just to mention again, when I did have access to Windows the screen was flickering which was strange I hope someone can help I'm pulling out what little hair I already have Thanks

Changed the settings in the bios and running fine! Set it to gen 3 card on both instead of auto and seemed to do the trick

Thanks, am i right in presuming some gfx cards have there own bios settings?

I have the Zotac 980 GFX TI AMP EXTREME in SLI Hero VIII Mobo i7 6700k 32GM Ripjaw RAM 2x Samsung 850 1tb SSD in Raid0 Corsair 110i Cooling Total of 8 fans in Lian Li PC-08 I was only getting 23 fps on Epic settings on Overwatch. I realized my SLI wasnt enabled in the NVIDIA settings so i enabled it and still only 23 fps, couldnt figure out why I realized the BIOS was out dated so i updated to the latest version on the Hero VIII mobo After the update my monitor says no signal is being received and i cant get into windows My mobo shows Q-code A9 Any ideas why this is? Im stuck Thanks
