Okay, I'm confused...

It sounds like something isn't connected right. Might want to pull everything and start from scratch. Plug MB 24pin header in, plug CPU 4pin power in, connect ONLY ONE VGA card to the MB via the riser into the 16x slot and boot. If you get POST go to BIOS and ensure that the settings on the motherboard BIOS are correct and conducive to 6 GPU mining (PCIe to gen1 on all slots is the biggie, and disable onboard VGA if it's on). If Windows is already installed, boot into safe mode and uninstall and wipe all VGA drivers (there's a program floating around somewhere that does this nicely. Perhaps someone else can suggest, I can't recall the name at the moment). Reboot, install whatever VGA driver you're going to use. Ensure card works with new driver. Run miner to make sure miner correctly sees and works with the card.

If all is well, add 1 CARD AT A TIME, configure, run miner, make sure it works.

Once you get beyond 4 cards, Windows gets a little funky about recognizing all the cards. There's a hack around here to fix the registry so that Windows recognizes all 6 cards. Again, since I'm at work, I don't have it in front of me, but it should be relatively easy to find with a brief search.

Also, did you get all these cards new? If not, do you know if any of the BIOS have been modified? If they have, and you're using driver version 16.12.2 or later, any cards with modded BIOS will fail checksum and will not initialize. You'll need to patch the driver to make it work.

Again, though. First step is to tear it all apart and start over, step by step. Don't throw it all together at once and hope it works. Also, DO NOT daisy chain the risers nor the PCIe power connectors. Especially if you have a power supply with multiple 12v rails. Bad things will happen.

Thank you for this I will have it ready since I left my building where the rig is.

I will re-do step by step with these procedures.

I got all these brand new right before the surge of GPU's getting sold.

I have a few questions, what is POST and what is daisy chain the risers mean? I think I know what it mean but not the definition.

TY again.
