I just completed my first build and I thought all went clearly but when i tried to power on my computer nothing came up on my monitor and I received an error code on my motherboard (ASRock Z97 Extreme 6) reading "A2"

Which the manual details as " Problem related to IDE or SATA devices. Please re-install IDE or SATA devices. If the problem still exists, please clear cmos and try removing all SATA devices."

I'm not really sure what this means as I am a complete amateur, but have checked everything that I could think of and I still can't seem to fix it.

these are the parts I'm working with:

If you could please help me I would greatly appreciate it!
I feel quite out of my depth and have invested a lot in this project, thank you all in advance!

I would remove that seagate barracuda drive and leave only an SSD connected. Just for test. If that doesn't help, remove the battery from motherboard for several minutes and put it back (computer has to be unplugged from the wall).
