A2 Code Can't Get Into BIOS

[hatefly]

Hello,
Recently my son had an accident and literally a single drop of condensation fell into my top vent and fried my PSU. Nothing else got wet at all and I promptly shut down my system. I replaced my PSU (exact same model) leaving all cables in place, checking everything for correct fitting. After replacement and a cleaning everything seems to be in working order however I now am getting an A2 Q Code. System will not let me go to BIOS and when pressing F1 to enter setup I get nothing.
Please help folks, you're my only hope!

Ok. Procedure is exactly what I did. do I need to remove the usb before I start the system up?

[Nate152]

You can yes.

I hope this gets you going.

What motherboard do you have?

Maximus V Formula

When you update the bios you want to rename the bios file to MVF.CAP

Did you get it working?

[hatefly]

About to try again in just a moment. I had the file named 5 instead of V! Lol.

[hatefly]

So I renamed the file to a v instead of a 5. It's been "flashing" for over an hour! Highly doubt that is normal, lol.

Ok good luck, fingers crossed.

[hatefly]

Yeah, no luck. Same message just different file name.

Ok finally got the thing to update and load BIOS. Still getting the A2 error however. Once I updated BIOS I lost video on my board but I can get video on my GPU such I hooked back up. I tried loading and saving optimized defaults, but still nothing.
