This might sound stupid but how would i flash the bios if i cant even get into it?

you could do the BIOS update without booting up

 

you mobo supports the BIOS flashback via USB and the magic button at the back of your mobo

I just built this computer today and when it was time to boot it the motherboard first got stuck on A2 which i fixed that and now its stuck on 99 i made sure everything was plugged in correctly and im starting to think CPU/Motherboard could be dead

found this by a simple google search

 

Qcode 99 is "Super IO Initialization" and IO meaning anything connected to the board by any interface is not initializing.

If you have just built the system, then it is saying a device is not connected properly or there is a lack of power to a device causing the IO error.

First check all cables and components are seated flush and level and aligned in parallel with Pci-e slots and your DIMMs seated correctly.

Should the condition continue, you will have to Bench test outside the case and reapply your TIM after checking for bent pins. Test with minimal configuration, till you post successfully or identify the failing component.

run with the bare minimum parts 

 

this means like only CPU with cooler, RAM and power plugged in

 

then connect your monitor to the mobo's DVI or VGA connectors

Hmm that sounds like a boot device issue. Give me a few minutes to help you

 

 

Actually you might be right your mobo might be dead. Try flashing your bios to the latest?
