I have just recently finished building an entirely new computer from scratch and ran into a problem. When I turn the computer on it goes through the boot process of checking all the hardware, but when it gets to the bios it stops. What happens exactly is the motherboard goes to error code "AE," and then I hear the DVD-ROM spinning with the windows 10 disc in it (meaning it is working) but after that it gives me bios error code "bf or 6f." The screen remains black so I am unable to get into the motherboard settings or windows either. I have tried reseating the processor, changing out RAM, using one slot of RAM, changed to an older video card, replaced the processor/motherboard (basically went to the store and exchanged them), unconnected everything and hooked everything back up, checked the pins on the motherboard, and reset the COMOS multiple times. I am trying really hard to avoid going to a professional to spend the money and plus the thing is super heavy to carry. Below are my specs. Thanks for any help :)
