Hi there, Max. Your PC setup went smoothly this weekend and benchmarks were solid. Today you wanted to play Valorant but encountered an error. The game suggested enabling Secure Boot and using Temporary Storage 2. After setting Secure Boot in BIOS, it reported "not active" and asked you to activate a PIN for it. You selected the default option there. The Secure Boot setting was changed from standard to custom. After saving and restarting, you only got black screens with no Windows display. You tried clearing CMOS by shorting the pins on your mainboard (Gigabyte Z690 UD) and removed the battery for about three minutes—nothing worked. Should I recommend flashing the BIOS? Any advice would be appreciated. Also, this is your first time asking here, so I’m not sure what the exact rules are. Thanks for reaching out, and please let me know if you have any questions! Cheers.
