    Hello jigo.melb@gmail.com

    Welcome to the ROG forum.

    Have you updated to the latest bios ?

    You'll need to do this with z170 and kabylake.

    Qcode A2 is IDE Detect and post is not finding or recognizing your OS disk.
    Check all cabling and SATA Connections and make sure you have prioritized the HDD correctly in Bios. Just have the HDD with the OS installed for now and add the other later.

    I did update. But nothing happening. Also it doesn't let me enter to BIOS though.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your reply.

    It doesn't let me go to bios settings. If I can go through BIOS, I can prioritized the HDD. But there is no BIOS display though.

    If you have no display on your monitor try clearing the cmos.

    If that doesn't help remove all drives and try different monitor cables, HDMI, Displayport, DVI.
