New system build, first boot went perfectly. Went through BIOS and Windows 10 setup without a hitch. All hardware was detected and running normally. Standards speeds, no OCing. Temps all satisfactory and constant. Once up and online updated the BIOS, Windows, and all of the drivers to the newest versions. Went through a number of the standard soft restarts that come with a new build setup, no problems. Got to the point where it was time for bed so I shut down completely and unplugged the power and all other cables so there were no unexpected updates or power issues overnight. The next day I plugged everything back in and attempted the first cold boot since setup, which stuck in the post. Everything seems to be getting power and functioning. The display on the motherboard goes through the CPU and VGA post okay but when it gets to the HDD post it hangs on "HDD Code: 02" then gives the "Code: 02 Post Error" and just stops. Does not finish microcode loading and does not proceed to BIOS/system boot.

- Reflashed BIOS to both versions available on ASUS support (Version 0702 & Version 0803).
- Tried: CMOS reset, slow mode reboot, Safe BIOS mode reboot
- Tried all configurations for the LN2 Mode Jumper
- Reseated everything except the processor (don't currently have more thermal paste but the system booted fine the first time so issues in the CPU are unlikely).
- Tried minimal setup with just processor, 1 stick of RAM, Vid card, and 1 storage device (tried each SSD, a magnetic HDD, a USB drive, and no storage at all, all separately).
- Have checked all components (except CPU) individually on another system. No issues.
My only guess at this point is maybe an error in the newer BIOS versions. Does anyone know if the factory BIOS is different from the versions available for download?
