I have a Asus Z87 Maximus VI Extreme I was planning on using this card in, but it is not passing POST. It sticks at the splash screen and I can’t enter the UEFI. Error code on board is D5. The activity light lights up when I plug a cable into it, so it should be working...just seems like compatibility issue with the chipset?

I have another, I haven’t tried yet, that I put into my Asus X99 WS-E and it works fine...gonna try swapping tonight, but I’m just not home now.

Any ideas on how to get it working? Clearing cmos and manually setting PCIe 2.0 before I put the card in didn’t work. If I can’t get it running i may have a card or two for sale for a decent price lol.
