Help getting error on Asrock mobo

(Specs at very end)
Hello I hope I can get some help with my pc I just built. It won’t post. Everything is lighting up, all fans are spinning and even the pump is on. 
I have a Asrock board with dr debug and it is showing a A2 which is a “problem related to IDE or SATA devices”. I have tried removing all SATA ports and restarting. Clearing cmos. Reinstalling cpu, pulling out m.2 ssd, plugging in a usb with windows, plugging in a gpu, moving ram to each slot, and nothing. I need the help so it’s much appreciated.

Motherboard: Asrock z390 phantom gaming 9
CPU: i7-8900

if this is a new PC (asuming you have 9800 it probably is). RMA your board. 

 

wait... 9800 or 8900?

Considering this CPU doesn't exist, that could be your issue.

pretty sure he meant 9800 right @Ryansiracusa?
