Question boot stops with D6 error

[manute771]

Hi All,

My new build isn't booting... there is a LED on MB that runs through a bunch of numbers. It goes through CPU (red light), DRAM (yellow light), and the VGA (white light) comes on then eventually gets stuck on - then the boot light (green) comes on and both white and green lights stay on.

Allegedly, the D6 light indicates that there is no graphics card detected. I have unseated the graphics card and put it in multiple slots, etc.... still nothing. Also tried updating the bios using the flashbios utility on the motherboard. Also reseated the M2 card.

Thanks!

Without a discrete GPU populating the motherboard's PCIE slot, you should be able to get display out from the iGPU that's on the i9-14900K.

Try and work with 2 sticks of ram on slots A2 and B2.

did you connect the monitor to the GPU and not the motherboard?
power cable connected to the GPU as well?

Thank you both for the recommendation.

It was either the monitor crapped out, it kept turning off too quickly, or the cable was bad. I swapped the monitor and the cable... it booted.
