Hello,
I've got a very interesting problem, my mobo, a Maximus 5 formula recently decided it doesn't want to boot anymore and started spouting the A2 q-code.
I've checked cables(tested on 2 separate comps), I've bought a new ssd (it works on said machines), I've checked every port(they detect said ssd), everything works.
The boot process goes like this: pwr button -> comp starts -> hear POST sound -> rog splash screen -> A2 q code gets displayed -> black screen (its the "monitor is on" black screen) then it just sits there.
The funny thing is, if I cut the power from the PSU and wait until the lights on the board die off, then power back on and boot and spam the del key I manage to get in the bios. After that if I go in EZ mode, F5 and select the os drive it boots whiteout a hitch.
Also, I've tried switching between AHCI and IDE for the sata config, no dice.
I am so confused it isn't even funny.
Please send help
