A couple of weeks ago my computer stopped working, I had an old case and power supply, around 450w. A Gigabyte GTX 960, i5 4690k and a MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard. 8gb of Kingston fury ram. A 480gb Kingston SSD and a 300gb old hard drive. Then it stopped working, it did not post. It would turn on for a second then turn off, the fans would spin during that time as well. I thought the power supply could have been broken so I bought a new EVGA Supernova gs 650W and a new case while i was at it, a fractal design s. I installed all the new parts and it still did not work. So I ordered a new motherboard, an ASRock z97 extreme6 and a new NVMe SSD, intel 600p. I also bought a Cryorig h7 to see if I could do a little overclocking. I get all the new parts and put them into the computer, and it works. I overclock the cpu to a safe 4.4GHz and clone the old ssd onto the new one and everything seems fine except the motherboard had some coil whine so today i tried to disable the overclock and the computer stopped posting again like it was doing with the old motherboard. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

I tried re-seating the CPU and surprisingly it worked, for like five minutes. I was able to get it to post, but not load into an operating system, I think that may be a bug with Haswell motherboards and NVMe SSD's. But then the computer stopped working again. I re-seated the CPU again and it worked for like thirty seconds. Any idea why this would happen?

If I turn the power supply off and wait a while then it will boot, but then will give me a 99 error, which the manual says there is something wrong with the PCIe device, so i took out the SSD and graphics card and waited and tried again and it gave me the same error.
