I tried to turn off my CSM to enable secure boot for playing Valorant on my new PC. After disabling it, the system started but didn’t display anything. I’ve had similar issues before; resetting the CMOS worked, but this one didn’t. I removed the battery for over an hour and even touched the jumper pins, but nothing changed. I disassembled the PC, reinserted the CPU and RAM, yet it still didn’t function. I suspect the motherboard might be the issue, possibly a generic Chinese board with a weak BIOS. I’ve checked everything I could find and even ordered a new motherboard, but no luck. Have anyone else experienced this? I’m really hoping you can help!

I switched to another PSU and graphics card, and I've also purchased a new motherboard. I'm hoping that will fix the issue.
