This the P67 version of the MIVE, is that what you have, or are you looking at the MIVEz?

Got even stranger. Thinking it might be a corrupt BIOS, I used the crash free BIOS utility to update the BIOS. Put the install DVD in as per instructions and a thumb drive in the ROG connect port. Started the computer and it went straight into BIOS SETUP !!! YAY! This without any hard drives installed.

Updated the BIOS successfully, then shut down the rig to hook in the SSD and it's refusing to boot, hanging at A2 again.

Put the install disk into the drive again and did a cold boot... straight to A2 again, no setup

PS, I'm using a PS2 keyboard which worked fine the one time it went into setup, so don't think I have a keyboard issue

STRANGER STILL

Ran the BIOS routine again, got it to reset and go through the entire boot sequence - still no bootable drive installed. Hooked up the storage HDD and it went through the entire boot up until it told me to select a bootable drive.

So I hooked up a bootable drive - NO BOOT .... AE - legacy boot event!! This is with the SSD that was formatted for this system.

new

Got it restarted with the install disk, reinstalled the new BIOS, it restarted itself and hung on AE which is a "legacy boot event"
