I've just purchased ASUS Maximus VII Ranger motherboard, I've built a system but while POST I'm getting Q-Code 'AE' - Legacy Boot Event (as mentioned in manual). Please help me in this regard J.J. It booted first time perfectly & I can see in monitor as well & it was written Press F1 to run setup when I pressed F1 nothing can be seen in monitor after that. I dont know what's happening just AE can be seen in Motherboard & no display now... I tried reboots but still no displays & AE error code on motherboard.

My whole configuration is as follows::
Intel core i7 4790K
ASUS Maximus VII Ranger MoBo
Kingston Fury Red Series 8GB - 1600 MHz
Corsair H100i CPU Cooler
Corsair CS750M PSU
 
Solution
The tv might not support low resolutions, that's why I suggest borrowing a monitor for installing Windows and the graphics driver. After that, you can use the tv.

Will try tomorrow as I don't have VGA cable with me :(.. Will post an update after that... But when I assembled everything & first time booted up the system I saw system thru TV it was written CPU detected memory detected Press F1 to run setup.. & then when I pressed F1 the monitor got blank & I cant see anything & I waited for long but nothing came up... So I rebooted the system this time nothing came in monitor & on motherboard it shows 'AE' in led... Please help dear & suggest me if I'm doing anything wrong here... As I'm building this gaming RIG for the first time in my life & I'm a bit scared, cause its expensive.. I hope u understand..

I love you so much....Thank you for your support.. I just purchased new VGA cable & display came right up on my TV as it has a VGA connector at the back. Now installing Windows 8.1 . Very happy with new build... Thank you once again....
