I'm working on my first build, I don't have all of my components yet, only enough to POST. I have my Case,MoBo,PSU, CPU, RAM, and CPU cooler. I'm not sure if this code is something I should be worried about or if it's because I don't have a hard drive or GPU yet.
Parts:
Case: NZXT H440 Red/Black
PSU: Corsair AX760
Mobo: ASUS Maximus Hero VII
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k @ 4.0 GHz
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Water Cooler
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2133MHz
(Do NOT Yet Have: )
SSD (Samsung 840 Evo 250GB)
HDD (WD Black/Blue 1TB 7200RPM)
GPU (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970/980)
It brings me into the BIOS/UEFI with no problems, my RAM and CPU both show up correctly, showing the i7-4790k and 8GB RAM 2133MHZ(after I enabled XMP Profile for the RAM). So it leads me to believe I don't have a problem with the CPU or RAM.
Is this something I need to be worried about, or wait until I get my Hard Drive and just see if it continues showing it? I'm not sure if it's supposed to show 99 or it's not supposed to light up at all.
Yet another note i realize could be effecting it: I have 2 SATA cables plugged into the MoBo, but not plugged in on the other side, because I don't have my hard drives yet.
To add to the previous note: I just tried unplugging the SATA cables from my Motherboard, but it is producing the same code.
I also didn't mention that when I power it on, all the fans go on full speed, then the Q-code LED starts showing all the different numbers, it turned off, does it again, but always on the second time, it'll go all the way into BIOS/UEFI and have no more problems.
EDIT: After pressing the Clear CMOS button on the motherboard, it boots into the BIOS/UEFI the first time without shutting off and restarting the process.
