I first noticed this problem a few weeks ago, and initially thought it was an overheating issue, but I don't believe that to be the case.
After a power surge, I returned to my computer to find it powered on, but with no image on the display, and with the graphics card fan spinning at 100%. I shut the system down, and attempted to restart. The computer powered back on, but the graphics card fan returned to 100% speed, and I still had no output to the display. I powered the computer down, returned ten minutes later, and it started normally.
Since then, I have noticed the system exhibits this behavior any time it is disconnected from power. The first time it is powered on after being reconnected, the graphics card fan spins up to 100% and will not output to the display. The only way to start the system after it is disconnected from power is to turn it on, turn it off, wait five to ten minutes, then turn it on again.
This build is only about a month old, and since it wasn't disconnected from power before the power surge, I can't say if the issue appeared after the power surge, or was always present. Either way, a power conditioner is in my future. I still need to determine what is causing the startup issues after power disconnection.

I have scoured the internets and haven't been able to find anyone who had a similar issue. I'm guessing it's either a motherboard or video card issue. If the system remains connected to power, it boots and shuts down normally. It doesn't show any instability under stress testing (Prime95). Absolutely no issues unless the power goes out, or I unplug the computer.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! I have tried contacting ASRock to see if it could be a BIOS issue, but did not hear back.
