Is that setup running raid 0, if so try a different storage device. A0 is IDE initialization is started, what storage configuration are you using? Need more info on your system.

Sorry A2, sounds like faulty storage reverting back to IDE. A2 is IDE detection. I've had that happen with older Intel SSD's (2012) running in Raid 0 array, it's definately a storage issue. Yea anytime posting issues we need all the info on your system configuration and what you did last before issue started.

Sorry for late response, I just now see it. Only suggestion I have is to secure erase (permanently wipe device ** all data will be lost **) one of your SSD's and try to reinstall OS only on that drive, if that resolves the issue then you know it was from your previous custom install.

You might try looking at your drive's smart data t see if any errors or health warnings are showing.

i had a windws on it with all my data , when i did the new installation i kept everything and format only the partition with the OS ? that's the only thing which i have done with the disks i remember while doing the instalation windows installer shout out some windows about the harddrive drives or something but i've just skip it... maybe this may cause the problem ?

Hi koxlufa

When installing windows only have the ssd connected you're installing windows to, after windows installs then connect your other drive(s).

Before installing windows disable CSM (for windows 10) and set secure boot to "Other Os", be sure you're doing a UEFI install.

Another thing to try is to update/reflash the bios.
