MSI gaming 7 Motherboard Error code A2

Guys I could really do with some help.

Everytime I turn on my PC it hangs on A2 error code them boots direct to windows any help at all? I have read it is to do with Sata ports. All but one of my sata ports are in use.

Config is
120GB Hyper x SSD
120GB Hyper x SSD
4TB WD black
4TB WD black
2TB WD black

Any help would be great thank you!

Unplug them one by one until the code stops? It might be a dodgy Sata cable or something?

Would this not cause me to have to reinstall all my programs on everything aside from the boot drive?

Well to test it would be fine, it wouldn't load the program as it wouldn't be there.. I have all my games on a second HDD and when unplugged it just says can't find 'blah blah blah'

Then when plugged back in works fine?:S

Yeah, I've never had any trouble. In fact, my HDD disappeared for a week and I didn't notice until I went to play a game and it was an error unplugged and plugged in the drive and it worked. Although, get someone to double check as I don't want it to die and be on my head :rolleyes:

Unless theirs an iTunes library in there somewhere. That is one evil, unforgiving program!

I just tried what you said mate when unplugged all but the SSD booted up past a2 super fast. Plunging in just one HDD out the three caused the hang any help?
