Hi, a friend of mine is having some trubles with a used GTX 980TI he bought.
When he mounts it the PC lights up the DRAM led and doesn't post.

He already tried:
-Using one bank of RAM at the time
-Switching RAM slots
-Updating BIOS

Config:
>mobo: Msi z170a gaming pro
>cpu: i5 6600k
>ram: Corsair Vengance ddr4 2x8GB
>psu: Corsair cx750m
>sound: Sound Blaster Z
>ssd: samsung 850 evo 500GB
>hdd: wd black 1tb
>previous gpu msi gtx 770

PC doesn't have problem if he uses the gtx 770.

If the pc works just fine with a 770 then its probably not gonna be a RAM issue. Try to use DDU to wipe your video drivers, then shutdown > install the 980TI and reboot without reinstalling drivers, if it posts then you can install your drivers normally.

How in the shit are drivers going to affect whether it will POST or not?

You're using a separate modular cable for each PCIe power socket, yeah? 980 takes a lot of power, so you can't use two ends of one cable.
