rog ROG Maximus IX code no post or display q-code A2

[Nick white]

I have just built a custom pc

i7 7700K

Vengeance led 16GB 3200 ddr4 ram 

be quiet 280mm cooler

maximus ix code motherboard

500gb 850 evo ssd

2tb WD black hhd 

corsair 860w power supply

GTX 1060 6GB

 

when I connect everything up it goes through all the normal q-codes but ends on A2 (IDE Detect) it won't display anything on the screen I am connected to the on board hdmi, I have tried disconnecting the hard drives entirely still the same, I have tried removing the gpu as well still the same, I have tried only one stick of ram still the same problem.

I have attempted to flash the bios by downloading the cap file and using the bios button on the motherboard, it flashes briefly but then the led goes solid and won't turn off, I have no idea what to do now.

This is a new build that has never worked correct?  I had this code when I accidentally bent a pin in my MOBO.  It's a hassle, but I would take a look at the pins in the board and make sure there are none that are bent. 

The good news is I did fix it with a sewing needle and magnifying glass.

IDE detect may refer to any of the connected devices causing a problem, tough as you stated you already tried the build with nothing connected. so likely a motherboard error or a bend pin as stated above i guess

Before you check pins, do CMOS and all that stuff.  Anything you can do before disassembling everything.

No bent pins that I can find tried clearing cmos and the safe boot button still not changed

Are all your power connectors in place completely? Also, should probably move this to troubleshooting.

[Nick white]

Yes all power cables are connected properly
