Getting a stuck Dr. Debug error code 99 when trying to boot. There is no display from monitor (tried 3).
Manual states  92-99 are PCI-E errors.

Build:
Asrock 990FX Extreme 9 (new, arrived in mail today)
AMD FX 9570 4.4 Ghz (brand new, verified working)
AMD R9 390 8Gig (Brand new, verified working)
32G 4x8 GSkill Ripjaw DRAM (verified working)
Silencer 750W PSU (all plugs tested with multimeter)
250G SSD (brand new)
2TB SATA HDD (Current OS)

I have tried 2 different PCI-E graphics cards in all PCI-E slots
Removed and re-installed CPU
Tried all 4 sticks of ram 1 at a time in different slots.
Reset CMOS
Unplugged HDD/SSD

My PC decided to quit pushing a display a couple of weeks ago. I thought it might be GPU, so I bought a new one: same problem. I replaced the CPU next: same problem. New SSD: same problem.
I had a computer repair specialist (5 star rating) look at system before I bought motherboard. He tried CPU, GPU, and RAM in different motherboard and it booted right up. He agreed that it was a motherboard issue as everything else checked out.
Old motherboard was Crosshair V Formula Z.

Received new board in the mail today and rebuilt everything. I have upgraded several times with no issue. Still no display and Error code is stuck at 99.

Seems like new motherboard is DOA with the PCI-E slots? Angry

Given you had issues with the system prior to the new motherboard my first guess would be that some remaining component is probably the culprit. My guess would be the power supply as it is one of the few remaining original components from the old setup that could actually cause the issue. If it is supplying power out of spec it could be causing all manner of issues. Try a different PSU and see if that changes anything before you lay blame on the board and RMA.

Testing with a multimeter is no guarantee the PSU is operating to spec as it does not properly load the unit nor does it detect ripple adequately. There is a reason professional power supply reviews are done with expensive testing gear. I am not saying the PSU is definitely at fault but it is one of the components pulled from the original system that failed.

Best of luck to you and let us know how it goes Thumbs Up

Malekoth, I'm getting the identical problem with the identical board. I've swapped out everything but the CPU and the power supply. What ended up being your solution?

Please:

1. List out the hardware used in your build by Make and Model
2. Your PSU's age
3. Is this a new build, or one that's been running fine for awhile
3a. Did a hardware change precipitate your issue
