I've had this rig for over 6 months now and it has been working fine. Two days ago it froze up and gave me a memory error (code 55) so i had to take everything apart and I believe i resolved that issue by adjusting my heat sink. It most probably moved out of place during a recent move.

Now I am receiving Code A2 for (IDE detect) so I'm assuming that it does not see my SSD anymore. Either that or something else has gone wrong. I have tried to swap power leads and SATA connectors. I have also hooked up my SSD as an external on my laptop to make sure that my data is still secure and everything is as it should be. Any suggestions for what my next step should be?

It won't POST so I cannot get into the BIOS to change settings. Also, I have recently tried to run a HDD with Win7 on the computer in question with the same result. So I no longer believe that the problem is actually reading the SSD, but in fact something else with the board itself. And last night I flashed the BIOS in case that was the problem, but again nothing has changed.
