I was on my BIOS, changing my voltage limit to auto on my MSI Gaming 5 and as I saved and exitted, the PC switched off, turned on and just shows a black screen and A2! Help! Specs are in validator below

A2 at bottom means it is having problems detecting installed drives/hardware.

Anyway, if you can't enter BIOS settings, go for a physical reset. (Use MObo jumpers to reset your Bios)

Your system OverClocked?

If you OC your entire system and put voltage to auto, you are gonna have POWER INSUFFICIENCY problems. You only use AUTO if everything is in STOCK SETTINGS (DEFAULT) otherwise, your system gonna be lacking power

Since you did something in the BIOS, a capture of the BIOS settings that you changed would be most helpful than CPUZ validation.

Also as a make-shift remedy, try reverting BIOS SETTINGS to DEFAULT. as in EVERYTHING.
