First of all, let me just state that before having trouble to boot to Windows 10 because I change some stuff in the BIOS, I had not trouble with my own PC buid (built in 2012). Now it so happened that I went to the BIOS, and changed 2 parameters on the "Integrated Peripherals" screen panel. So now when I boot to the BIOS, I get a loud constant beeping sound.
Let me explain that what I did was to change these two parameters:

1- PCH SATA Control Mode: it was changed from IDE to AHCI
2- GSATA3 Ctrol Mode: it was changed from IDE to AHCI

And now even though I reverted back to the original settings, there is no way to boot all the way to Windows; what's more, I am getting the following message after the BIOS:

Loading Operating System ...

boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: GPT
boot0: test
boot0: error_

Any help to solve this issue would be really appreciated! And thank you.

P.S. Let me know if you need more info other than GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (rev. 1.3) and BIOS version F12 - 1984-211 Award Software.

Update - I re-installed the F12 Bios, and the continuous beep stop; however, I am not able to boot to Windows. Now I don't get the errors boot0: GPT...etc., but all I get is "Loading Operating System...".

Somehow the boot order was accidentally changed by me. I guess back in 2012 I made the mistake to have my boot drive set to boot1 and not boot0 which is the reason I had this issue. I will keep a note to myself to be more careful next time when I build a new PC.
