Disabiling Startup Programs and Getting Into My BIOS Without Reaching a Black Screen

[3P1CTH3K1NG]

Hey, guys!

I've been having some trouble with my computer, as it usually takes several times to boot into the BIOS. Whenever the computer fails to boot into BIOS, the computer locks up and displays a black screen with "A2" in the bottom-right corner of the display. I feel like my startup programs and services are the root of the problem, but my motherboard could also be another issue altogether. However, I am not sure of which ones to disable, as I do not want to compromise the functionality of my desktop. Here are the startup programs and services(all Microsoft services have been excluded):

Here are my specs:

CPU: i7-4790K
Motherboard: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate LGA 1150 Intel B85
RAM: 24GB (DDR3)
Storage: 3TB (WD Red)
SSD: Samsung EVO 120 GB
GPU: Nvidia GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0
Network Adapter: ASUS PCE-AC68
OS: Windows 10

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

That to me sounds hardware oriented. The standard install of the OS should work fine. I highly recommend to not be hacking the OS unless you are a serious Hardware/OS engineer. Not a good idea. Look back further to find the root cause.

If it fail to boot into bios means your PC has failed POST

get a better mobo

b85 board wont allow overclocking the k cpu

anyhoo, if iwndows is installed with uefi enabled, you need to go thru windows (after bios) to get to bios

you can disconnect the hdd, and get to bios
but with the os hdd installed, it will load bios settings from windows

It's your mobo and bios. Boot into bios and check your boot settings. As you installed WIn10 to an SSD check if there is an AHCI SSD device listed in bios. If yes, try setting it to be the boot device.

The A2 is an error code produced by your mobo.
Google your mobo id + "error codes" to find out what code a2 means.
Or look in the mobo manual.

Hey, guys!

Thank you all for your response; after doing some research, the "A2" code on the bottom-right corner of the screen is because of some problems with my HDD or SSD. I'm going to try and open up my computer, check my connections, and see if that fixes the problem.
