We could perform the same test on the other stick of memory, but my feeling is that trouble there isn't that likely.

Lets focus again on the motherboard.

Could you please turn off the pc at the wall, or unplug it. Then remove the mb battery. Then hold the power button on your pc for a full minute. No less.

Then replace battery, connect power again, and try to start the system.

Could you please unplug and re-plug the 8-pin power connector and main atx power connectors on the motherboard, then try to start the system.

Please unplug and re-plug your drives, both at the motherboard end and at the drives themselves. Then try to start the system.

Running out of options. Please remove the cpu and re-install it, put the heatsink on and try to start the system.

I hate to say it, but it's looking like a 90% likelihood that your motherboard is toast.

It's strange how this happened just from you installing a gpu.... I'd maybe unplug everything from the motherboard then rewire everything again carefully just to be sure but it does seem like something, more than likely has bit the dust... :confused:

Your initial post isn't very clear.
Did you plug in the rx570 without powering down your system?
Did you attempt to connect your keyboard after starting your system when you rebuilt it?

If this was a laptop I would immediately say your Motherboard is faulty as a blinking capslock key when you initially power up indicates a fault there, but as a desktop system I am unsure if it means the same.

Try and connect a speaker to the board, to at least see if it does a beep error code.

Haven't seen anything about going into the bios and switching from on board video output to dedicated video card mentioned in any of these posts. Start from CPU video. Go to bios switch display signal. Save. Shut down. Switch display cable to card. Boot. If display works. Ddu the video driver and re install. Reboot. Worth a shot.
