I am currently having a problem with my pc. When I put it on it does not boot and gets stuck at the motherboard screen on code 99. I took off my ssd and hdd one by one and trying to start it but nothing changed. When I took out my graphics card and inserted the DVI cable into the motherboard graphics it booted up.

Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do please?

Got a question, how can the graphics card be faulty when the motherboard screen comes up when it is plugged in but just does not boot to windows and gets stuck there?

Have you done anything different recently? Driver updates? Making sure everything is connected up properly with your GPU? Installed some new software?
Any chance you're able to put the GPU into another computer?

Yesterday I did try overclock my CPU to 4.2 from 4.0ghz but I immediately reset it back to 4.0 because I didn't have much time for testing and postponed it for another day. That was in the morning, and I stayed on the PC for the rest of the day with no problems. Came home an hour ago, switched on pc and this happened

I may be able to test the graphics card on another computer, going to check.
