Pc wont boot : error '99' on bottom right

[Tipyyyy]

Hey i recently changed cases from a fractal design core 1000 to a zalman z11 plus. All fans are working and everything looks fine although when booted it displays a code '99' on the bottom right.. It will not get past this point and i cannot get into bios as the computer will not boot.. I have tried taking my grqphics card out and have tried taking the mobo out the case and trying there although there is no luck 🙁. My pc specs: msi h61 (G3) - intel pentium g860 - corsair value select 4gb ram - corsair cx500 - zalman z11 plus - seagate barracuda hdd - liteon dvd burner. Help would be greatly appreciated..

Aside from doublechecking that all of your devices have power, to include both connections for the motherboard in particular, and that all of your peripherals (drives, USB devices, add-on cards) are al connected properly, the only thing that may cause a problem would be if your case's front panel connectors aren't plugged into the correct pins on the motherboard. This could cause a short on the wrong pins that may give you issues booting. Basically, just check again that everything is powered and connected correctly to ensure that there aren't any issues with that. If it still won't boot, try disconnecting all of your drives except the boot drive, any add-on cards that aren't necessary for the BIOS to be visible (leave 1 graphics if you have 2, but nothing else), and all USB devices except your keyboard and mouse, then try booting again to see what happens.

Le me know what you try, and whether or not it works, and if it still won't boot we can try a few other things.

Just double checked, all front panel connectors are in the right place, i also tried taking out the graphics card and dvd drive.. No luck still will not pass the screen with '99' on the bottom 🙁

From what I can find on the MSI forums, this code 99 typically means the motherboard is dead and needs to be replaced. The code is usually seen when the board has either experienced a power surge, or was short circuited. I suggest you try resetting the CMOS to see if that helps by unplugging your power cable from the PSU, pulling the CMOS battery off of the motherboard, then holding the power button for 10-15 seconds. Once you've done this, reinstall the battery, plug the power cord back in, and try to boot. If it still won't work, you'll need to replace the board; if the warranty is still valid, you should be able to get a replacement by following the RMA process from either the place you purchased the motherboard, or MSI themselves. If the warranty has expired, however, you'll need to by a new motherboard.

Only had the board 3 months🙁, already reset the cmos did not do anything, thanks for the help anyway

No problem; wish I had better news for you. Luckily, since it's only 3 months old, the board should still be under warranty

I brought it from amazon, will it still have a guarantee?

I'm not sure; you'll have to check their site or contact their customer support people. If they don't, however, you should be able to contact MSI directly.

I get this occasionally. Sometimes it's just a quick thing and goes ahead and boots, other times it just stops, but I just re-boot and it works fine. Never waited to see if it would boot some time later. My guess is it has to do with the BIOS GUI thing, for what it's worth, since in my case it either goes ahead and boots or loads after a reboot. My PC works fine, so I don't think the board is dead; I don't have any other issues, at least in Win 7. MSI board; sorry, I don't know which one, but one of those 'overclockers' things. I guess I should have found out before posting. lol

I am having the same problem as oberon12. I have a 970a SLI Krait edition mobo. When i power on i get "99" in the corner then it just freezes. After a reboot everything works fine; except a few numbers that appear for 2-3 seconds before the msi logo appears.

i plugged in a PS2 keyboard and it boots fine. Won't boot without it. But it does get me past 99 error (you may have to press and hold the delete key)

I have a msi 970a SLI Krait edition motherboard and had the same error code on startup. I disconnected all usb devices except for keyboard and mouse. Was able to get past the error code that way.

I have had several MSI motherboards that do the hang on startup with error code 99 in the corner. I have found that they are ok with a PS2 keyboard but will hang on startup with the 99 code in the lower right corner when it also has a PS2 mouse. If I use a USB mouse it works fine every time. I don't understand why so I simply use a USB mouse and all is well?

Sorry to come across as a complete prick.. But.. You have a manual which comes with your motherboard. I know this because I'm holding mine. Code 99 = console output/input devices/ console initialization and load option ROM (VGA, RAID, parallel ports, serial sorts) I get code 99 before my pc starts to boot. Its the code displayed when checking all is ok. If you have a problem on code 99 getting stuck then you have an I/O error. Good luck !

I have this error as well (msi motherboard, don't know model number but says military class II and oc genie II on it) It usually says 99 a2 b4 99 then shows msi logo and boots up but sometimes it lands on the first 99 or 92 and wont boot... no definite fix I can find but I pulled pulled out all usbs but mouse/keyboard, then turned it off, switched off power switch, hit power button to drain excess power left behind remove and reinsert video card, press on memory sticks to make sure they are all the way in and then hit power switch and button. sometimes this works immediately, sometimes it takes 15 trys but usually eventually comes back on... hope this helps anyone

I had this issue. MSI's forums indicate this error occurs depending on what is connected via USB. Some failing devices include front-panel ports, Wireless Keyboards, USB hard drives, and USB hubs.
For me, I disconnected (turned off actually) my USB printer and presto.
