Hi all. I'm a bit of newbie so would appreciate any help.
Recently I ordered parts to build a pc. All seemed to be going well until I tried turning it on and had nothing come up on my monitor.
I opened the case to see the motherboard showing code A2 and Boot Device Led lit.
My current setup is as follows:
CPU: Intel i5-4670k
HDD: Samsung SSD 250G 840BW EVO
RAM: 16gb (2x8) G. Skill RipJawsX DDR3-2133
PSU: Seasonic X-Series 750W 80 Plus Gold
GPU: Gigabyte GV-N770OC-4GD
CASE: Fractal Design Define R4
OPTICAL DRIVE: Pioneer BDR-209DBK
MONITOR: Samsung S24C300HL (only connection option to the motherboard/gpu is HDMI)
I have not yet installed an OS on my SSD. This is a totally new build.
I have tried booting the system with the monitor connected to the HDMI port on the motherboard and tried with it connected to HDMI port on the video card - still see code A2 and no activity on monitor.
I only have a keyboard connected to a usb 2.0 port (so no mouse connected) at the back. I have tried booting with no usb devices connected - still see code A2 and no activity on monitor.
I have tried booting with no usb devices connected and no monitor connected - still see code A2.
I have tried using different Sata cables with no success.
I have tried turning fast boot off with no success.
I have noticed one thing: when I press the power button on my case the board powers on - goes through a number of different codes and then when it reads 00 appears to power off then power on again ( which is when it stops at A2).
Pease help. I'm stumped as to what I should do to make it all work.
Cheers
