X299 mb error A2 randomly

[Defloc]

Just got my 7800x and x299 killer sli/ac with an m.2 and g.skill value quad channel 2400 ram(all compatible) today and threw it in my pc (gtx 980ti, 860w psu, crucial ssd boot, samsung 840 evo) and it booted up and ran fine i did some tests and games and restarted about twice, on the third restart i freeze up on the asrock screen and from then on the next 3 hours is me trying to get my pc to post and after apparently doing every random thing i can think of it posts, for about 3 more restarts, now its back to this A2 error and its been 5 hours now and ive done all the things i found online to try. Now im asking you guys for help, in the bios it only sees the m.2, but when i push f11 on boot i see all my drives, i tried to unplug all drives and boot with the same A2 error, took memory out, moved memory, unplugged all usb, checked all connections 10 times, moved fan plugs, tried different sata ports, tried restarting 29 times. Im out of ideas is my moba doa?

We reset the CMOS LIKE 5 times and now its seeing my drives thats how i fixed it last time but i believe its only a matter of time before this happens again. Still looking for solutions. Trying to get my OS onto my m.2 so at least when it doesnt read my other ssds i can at least use my pc.

Prob growing pains and it's a new chip set. X99 had a lot of problems with ram and stuff and so did ryzen. It will get better with bios updates just give it time.

Thats what im figuring but will i damage any of my other pc parts by resetting the cmos and restarting so frequently? By the end of the day everytime i had to restart i had to reset the cmos so i believe something is changing itself in the bios to break itself every time because im changing nothing. And my boot times are really slow up to the post screen after that the m.2 is instant, is that a growing pain too?

Naw I've failed post and reset CMOS hundreds of times on a single board it's fine.

 

There's probably a lot of stuff the board has to check like X99 at post. Go into the bios and turn everything you don't need off.
