Motherboard post code 0x99

[aderica]

Hi guys is it normal to have code 99 appearing at bios boot screen? It always shows at the bottom right corner of the boot screen? Read from ami manual that it is super io initialisation.

And bios would return black screen occasionally after exit bios without changes occasionally and need to press power button to reset. Sometimes exit it would go to windows recovery startup repair. However there are no issue while normal booting during gaming or installation of windows. The problem is minimal and non disruptive but would like to check with it is board issue or settings. The hard disk, ssd and dvd writer are recycled and cheap kb mouse. I suspect the keyboard and mouse are the culprit as they are rather old. Anyone able confirm?

Changed to another input devices with same results. System shows 99 or B4 even without keyboard mouse connected. Should I update the bios or rma?

Any advice before I proceed to update the bios. I am scared the mobo get bricked.

Just to add on that there isn't any system issue such as bsod, unable to boot or freeze while gaming etc. Everything works fine on windows. However the error code doesn't look right as seen from other forum that it could be possible motherboard failure. Is there something to be concerned

I had the same issue with my own diy build. I ran through all the cables again & realised i forgot to plug in 1 of the pci-e cables into gpu. That was what caused my code 99.

Maybe you shld open up ur build see if any of the connected devices don't have the requires power supply cable.

Thank you for advice. I shall recheck the connections and bootup without gpu and repost with results. I am sure I did plug in the pci e as it wont work if not connected.

Taken mainboard out from casing and disconnected all drives and using onboard but still shows error 99.

Does updating bios fix this issue or best to rma it? I have reset bios by removing cmos battery for 15mins and use bios optimised defaults. Thanks.

Hey guys I have flashed bios to the latest from H11DRC16.BSS to H11DR413.BSS but to no avail. Boot up still shows error 99.

Is the board screwed during manufacturing process?
