Cleared CMOS, updated BIOS and it booted into windows install.

A few weeks ago I ran into issues with my PC, and I assumed my raid array failed.

 

I'm working on it now, and I am unable to reinstall windows. On the screen where windows installs, the circle either freezes after a few minutes, or BSODs and displays an error message (Your PC Ran into a problem, restarting) at various stages of fullness (ie only the first 20 or so characters show up). I can get into the Bios just fine, and my next step is going to be resetting the CMOS.

 

Relevant specs are

MSI G7 X99A

i7 6800K

 

Reset CMOS and it gave me uncorrectable error after a rather short boot time.

Now it's giving me error A2 on my motherboard

Are you still trying to do raid?

Turn off raid and have only one drive plugged in while installing.

I deleted the partition and am trying to get into the bios to disable it.

 

When I entered the settings on it my bios froze. I'd hazzard a guess and say that's the point of failure in both cases.
