Having a problem with a new build of mine. (The computer was built about 2 weeks ago)
Whenever I try to power on the computer, everything seems turns on just fine. All components seem to be working except I'm not getting a picture on my monitor.

The motherboard gives the error code A2 and occasionally seems to give the error code AA (I would estimate about 5% of the time it gives AA)

The only thing I can do to get the computer powered on and working is to let it sit unplugged and powered off for a long time (at least a few hours, usually more). After that, it usually works fine until it is powered off)

Nothing I have done to fix this problem has worked. I've tried resetting the motherboard, updating motherboard via USB, unplugging and re plugging drives, unplugging and re plugging RAM, Different monitors, no hard disks, etc. Nothing so far as worked.

The longest I had the computer on for was a little under a week. When the computer was on and in windows, everything was working great.

Another thing to note is that the boot time when working seems to be about a minute, which seems rather long for the specs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Kevin

Specs:
i7-6900k

1TB Samsung Evo SSD
Windows 10

1| Since you mentioned Windows 10, have you made sure your installer isn't corrupt by recreating it?
2| Can you get into BIOS without much hassle or does the system do this at cold boot ups as well?
3| Have you tried removing CMOS battery and replacing it after 15 minutes? I'm assuming by the term updating you meant the BIOS.
4| You forgot to include the make and model of your PSU. Please list your specs specifically inclusive of the case.
5| Have you tried breadboarding the system?
