I recently built a new computer. Here is a link for the parts I used in my build:

When I turn on my computer, it goes through the booting process, but shuts down for a second or two during this process, then automatically turns back on continues to boot normally without shutting down on its own. The Q Code on the motherboard was originally reading A0, but after some troubleshooting is now reading A2. The boot device led is also red. I have also not been able to see anything displayed on my monitor. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

UPDATE:

The problem has been solved. The computer is up and running and working excellently. To save others the pain and struggling with similar problems, please be sure you have a through understanding of how all components are to be installed and wired in your computer. My problem was that I only had one of two VGA cables hooked up to each GPU. If you are new to this as I was, save yourself some time and look up some instructional videos posted by others who have installed the same or similar hardware. After only two videos, I was able to identify and fix my problem. Thanks again for the help!

In the motherboard user manual, the description for an A2 Q-Code is "IDE detect"
