I am building my new PC and on the ASUS motherboard I am receiving code 99 for Super IO Intialization. As well there is no beep upon powering on and no display. However the ram is compatible as per the website and confirmed with calling asus. I have tried moving the ram, one stick of ram, no ram. Still the error produces. Here are the parts

something is not connected to your motherboard corecttly. Make sure you check all the drives and fan cables and make sure they are secured in your board. Your fans are also probably not spinning at its correct speed.

as you mentioned 99 is "Super IO Initialization" which means something hasn't initialized properly and that can be any device that is connected to your new system - be it not seated properly or not getting enough power.

Check that all power cables - CPU/GPU/Mobo and the components are placed properly - RAM / GFX card

If that doesn't work, i will recommend booting up without graphics card and with only 1 stick of RAM (which sounds like you have tried)

Last choice is to remove the CPU and inspect the socket for bent pins
