Z87 starts up but fails to boot properly.
The issue seems to be related to the power supply or motherboard stability. The clicking noise before the beep suggests a potential issue with the power delivery or CMOS circuitry. Since other components work fine, it might be a problem with the PSU or internal connections. Trying to reset the system by removing RAM temporarily helped, indicating a possible temporary fault. If the problem persists after testing, consider checking the PSU output or consulting a repair specialist.
