I’m running a z390 Asus rog Maximus XI hero WiFi and I keep getting error code A2 first it was A0 and black screen. Now it’s A2 black screen. I removed all HDD name and SSD except my os drive and still same code and black screen. I plugged in a regular ssd and got to boot screen after resetting my cmos and set lower clocks etc reset and boot and then same error. I even turned off quick start. I have hit a wall and don’t know what’s the solution. Not even Google fu or YouTube has helped me get any closer.

Page A-3, shows as IDE detect. So, it's something to do with the drives. What's the specs of the full build, what was recently changed, etc? Will need more to be able to assist at all here.

Do you have another drive to test, looks like the boot drive might not initialize.

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!
