First boot with black display and A2 ERROR

I have recently built a new rig with the following components and I seem to be getting no boot screen, The BIOS is also giving me 1 long beep and then 4 short beeps and I'm getting a A2 error code showing on my main board itself.

I have looked at many different conversations people have been having with similar issues regarding the A2 error and nothing seems to be working for myself.

I have made sure all of my connectors are connected properly with my power supply and also tried running with only one stick of RAM.

I'm just wondering if anyone would have any ideas on how to resolve this or suggestions would be much appreciated.

PC specs:

EVGA SuperNova G2 1300W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply
Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon)
Asus Maximus VII Formula Intel Z97
Asus GeForce GTX 780Ti ROG Matrix Platinum 3072MB
Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 240GB
Corsair Vengeance RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz

I am sorry I should have mentioned that I already knew what the error A2 was it is just I don't know how to resolve it. With it being IDE detect I had presumed it was to do with maybe my sata cables connecting to my SSD drive and I have seen many people having the same problem.
 
What does the error code mean?

What exactly have you tried?

Have you tried resetting the bios?

Have you tried running with the onboard graphics?

Have you tried downloading and updating the BIOS? (USB Flashback)

This is amongst others is the information needed, it all well and good you saying you tried stuff, but unless we know what you have done, we can't eliminate possibilities and help you
 
I am sorry for the confusion and I think I may have solved the problem with no display being visible. In my house I do not have any monitors that still support VGA/DVI since I use televisions with only HDMI slots. I luckily managed to find a converter I had on one of my old computers which allowed me to use HDMI cable through a converter into VGA/DVI and it instantly came up with the BIOS and the problem. Because it is so late on in the afternoon now I cannot carry on till tomorrow so I will then give an update.
