There's no need to replace the RAM if it works (which apparently it does?), it is just more likely to not work (especially "out of the box" with XMP/EXPO enabled).

Can you let us know how you fixed it? For anyone else that has the same problem.

So each time I added my keyboard with a usb-c to usb-a cable, I got error 99.

To get rid of it, I had to reset the BIOS.

But each time I connected, error 99 would come again.

So I cleared BIOS, went into the BIOS settings, connected the keyboard, and A9 came-up (as I was in BIOS settings).

I then inserted my Windows 11 flash drive,, saved settings and exited BIOS. The PC restarted and booted to proceed with Windows installation.

Are you still getting the issue after Windows etc installed?

I also should have added that I'm using an iCue hub/lighting system with QX fans.

Error message came up prompting me to disable fans from BIOS, as I only had a 3-pin fay cable to fan header.

Did this as well, which bypassed the initial screen and booted me into BIOS.

Not sure if that made a difference, but worth mentioning incase it can be of any help to anyone else stuck in the future who comes to read this.

No issues. Windows seems to be running fine.

Updated drivers, etc. And all looking good.

Q-code display definitely displaying the CPU temp - have been monitoring it.

Played Doom:TDA yesterday, and the q-code display went up to 60, which was what Armoury Crate showed for the CPU temp as well.
