LONG STORY, APOLOGIES

When I try to start up my computer for the first time each day it won't boot up (have a mobo speaker that beeps when it boots). Initially thought it may have been a possible short with the old case but got a new case and still does the same thing. Next guess was a faulty RAM stick since I have to remove a stick to start it up initially then I can shut the computer down and place the stick of RAM back in and it'll boot fine after that (won't switch it off again for the remainder of the day) all sticks seem to be working but still does it after removing potential culprit. GPU makes a click sound every couple of seconds when trying to boot but won't actually start unless that stick of RAM is removed.

Specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte Z97x-Gaming 5
CPU: I7-4790
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
RAM: 24GB 1600MHz
PSU: EVGA 600W
CPU Cooler: Corsair h100x
Case: Corsair 220t RGB
 
Solution
Bios beeps are error codes.
each mobo have it different:

Find yours and you will know what kind of error you are facing

ram sitck is necessarily dead if it works by itself. its just RAM COMPATIBILITY is not guaranteed if you bought them separately.
the usual table that can give you an idea (its nowhere near accurate, & based on experiance of people I know):
same model ~90% sticks work together
same company ~75% different model
completely random 50/50

clicking sound is propably hard reset when BOARD want to post and its forcefully restarted....

you can try to resit the sticks, there were examples where sticks 1/3 dont like one another, so they have to be in different...

you can try to resit the sticks, there were examples where sticks 1/3 dont like one another, so they have to be in different banks,
so combinations 1,2,3,4 ends up in boot loop and
1.3.2.4 works perfectly....

Appreciate the response, I'll take a look and try resitting some sticks and see if that helps. I have 3 sticks of 8gb 2 are the same model and one random. Thanks again for response
