So my brothers computer just stopped responding while he was away from college, he brought it home and we tried to fix it.
so, apparently the computer will boot to windows, but will not display
he has a gpu
removing the gpu and trying integrated... not sure how that works or to do it once a gpu is installed and cant get to bios screen
we swapped psus, and he gets an error 99 now,
we swapped gpus and he still gets error 99
the psu we used only has one 8 pin psu, because it said you only need the second with a powerful gpu, we assume that is ok but not sure.
To contact asrock about it, he needs to have have model, serial, and bios, but we don't know bios at all and cant check.
the motherboard we think is likely out of warranty and that asrock once they know that will tell us to pound sand
he just bought 16gb of ram for it, and moving to a new computer would cost a significant amount of money, buying another motherboard that is compatible would cost money and be hard...
so, anyone here have any clue what to do going forward?
