So yesterday i did a test boot with the GPU PSU CPU and RAM, i had a hdmi cable from the gpu to my tv and when i turned the power on, i got a black screen on the tv instructing me to install an OS. Great its working.
So then i built everything into the case, connected everything up including HDD, SDD, all the ports etc etc and when i booted i got an A9 error code which according the the MOBO manual is "BIOS setup is started" but nothing appears on my tv screen. i called a friend over and we tried everything we possibly could. disconnected the GPU and tried the integrated graphics on the MOBO still nothing. disconnected the HDD, SDD etc leaving essential what i had in the test boot, still nothing. Nothing appears on the screen and i gt the same A9 error code.
Since the mobo wasnt displaying any error codes due to the CPU or RAM as the error codes were getting past all that during the boot up until it hit the A9 error code. So we figured it must be the MOBO,, i return the mobo.
I got a new mobo today, did another test boot with just MOBO, CPU, RAM and just the integrated graphics. Booted and same problem, i get up to the A9 error code "BIOS setup is started" i have no idea what to do now, im a noob at this :/
Can anyone help?

After scratching my head for days/weeks trying to to figure out the issue, it appears that using Q-Flash+ in single BIOS mode leaves the board in some transition state where it wants to flash the backup BIOS but cannot switch, and because of that the board exhibits extremely erratic behavior until you set it back to Dual-BIOS / re-flash. If I tried to boot DOS USB once it entered this state, it would either hang / or in the case of FreeDOS output a bunch of invalid OP Code messages.

Keep booting to BIOS, QLED code A9 and/or A0 - PCPartPicker
I started to have intermittent issue where it doesn't boot correctly. sometimes it boots to BIOS, or shows BSOD, or shows INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error, or get stuck at ASUS logo. In BIOS, it reads all components correctly. (SSD, HDD, Rams) I'm running windows10 on it. Whenever that happens, I checked QLED code and sometimes it shows A9 and sometimes it shows A0.

So before all this started my pc was working fine decided to turn up my ram MHZ and then my pc started turning off and on tried flashing bios by using the button on the back but no dice I decided to turn off unplug the pc and take out CMOS battery and it reset my bios setting returned it to factory settingsand it started working again fixed one but another pops out its A9 I automatically boot into bios every time I took out the gpu and tried to see if anything was wrong nothing everything is clean I moved around my ram and the code still pops up and I removed my hdd and it still popped with A9 code. I don’t have another set up to try the pieces individually.
I have run out of solutions from searching google and don’t know what else to try except to remove CMOS battery and see if that works Specs: Cpu: RYZEN 9th Gen 5950x Ram: T force 32x2 64GB 3600MHz GPU: aorus Geforce rtx 3080 Ti Motherboard: ROG Strix X570-E gaming

That code means Start of Setup (according to some other posts about it), meaning the system is entering BIOS setup, which is what it's supposed to do when factory reset. From there, install your OS drive and make sure your Bios is showing the drive installed and in the boot order you'd expect. You should be able to boot into your OS install once that's all done.

When you're in bios, set your boot device to USB (windows installation disk) also check to see if your bios is reading that you have some sort of hard (m.2). If no OS is installed or no hard drive is detected, it usually boot into bios.
