Error during code boot for Asus Maximus laptop.
Error during code boot for Asus Maximus laptop.
I've been dealing with the Q code A2 in the manual, which says "IDE DETECT." I tried removing each accessible drive one by one but nothing worked. Now I'm really stuck and need some guidance on how to fix it or move forward with troubleshooting. I have an 8086k boot drive from a Samsung NVMe M.2, and the other three drives are 1TB Samsung SSDs.
I recall hearing about a comparable issue and attempted to start it via internal graphics.
A2 can be misleading. Experiment with various HDMI/display cables and/or connectors for your GPU. Rotate the cable if needed—some only function one way.
Checking the bios information and confirming the boot drive status. It seems the last attempt might be to reinstall Windows.
