VI HERO gets stuck on boot, A2 code, SSD or MB?

[Motherland]

I had my new computer put together and work for 2 days, installed windows 8 the normal way. After reading about UEFI install on these forums i decided to reinstall my OS that way since it is the "future"....
After I partitioned my SSD and the system did the first restart while installing Win8 it got stuck on the boot screen, checked the code, A2.

I tried a few things with no luck so far. Updated BIOS with usb, reset all the settings. System boots if I have the SSD disconected, took the SSD out hooked it up to my other rig and Formated it NTSF.

I found an old post with a similar issue, but no answers in there, also they were able to actually boot after a few tries, I used my reset button today on the new computer more then I did on my old 7 year old rig in total.

Here is the main components:

ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Thermaltake ToughPower Grand TPG-0850M - SLI/ CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Gold
Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200)
Corsair Neutron Series GTX CSSD-N240GBGTXB-BK 2.5" 240GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Corsair H100i CPU Liquid Cooler

I hope someone can help me, I really would like to avoid the hassles of and RMA

Can you secure erase the SSD and start again? or make sure your boot order in BIOS is set to boot from UEFI install media and use microsoft to delete all partitions on the SSD....

[Zka17]

Yes, it seems your SSD/Win install... secure erase and try it again...

Do you need 2 partitions on that SSD?

I can't access the secure erase in BIOS since i get stuck. I did reformat the SSD conected to my old computer, is that is not enough ? I will reconnect again and use the Computer Management tool in win7 to delete volume. I don't need partitions on it, is it better to have one?

Arne : "BIOS is set to boot from UEFI install media and use microsoft to delete all partitions on the SSD.... "

I did have boot priority 1 set to UEFI Asus optical drive in BIOS, started the install, did the partition and it looked just like the image in the tutorial with the only difference that my 4th volume was 200+ Gb since I have a larger SSD.
Then it was doing it's thing and was waiting for it to do the usual restart during installation, except this time it got stuck when it rebooted automatically.
If my older computer could see the drive and load up normal doesn't that mean the drive is fine?

Much appreciated for taking the time to respond.

This is what my SSD looks like, I don't know why but I cant remove the 300mb and 100mb partition on here, am I doing something wrong?

ANOTHER UPDATE

I used Diskpart in command prompt and was able to delete all those partitions, I am hoping that all there is left now is 0's.

Can anyone tell me if I should I leave it unallocated for now and partition when I try to install win8 again?

[Arne_Saknussemm]

Yeah, I would just let windows take care of that when you install the OS...create a new volume and windows 8 will create the partitions it needs....just don't have any other drives connected or it'll put boot/recovery partitions on the other drives....just have install media and target SSD connected.
