Hello, I need to enable secure boot for Valorant. I accessed the BIOS, switched off CSM and selected Secure boot, then activated it and set the mode to Custom. After that, I went to Key Management and entered the Update Platform Key (PK). I saved the changes and restarted the PC. My computer won't turn on after any attempts. I tried several things: changing RAM slots, starting the PC without RAM or with one slot, running without a graphics card, disconnecting the drive, using an old GPU, booting without any drive, holding the power button for 20-25 seconds and restarting five times consecutively, testing different monitors, cables, screwdrivers, removing the battery multiple times for various durations, reassembling the PC, using another hard drive with a different OS (Windows 10), and even running it on CPU without a graphics card. Coolers started working, video cards turned on and off every 10-20 seconds. The specs are GTX 1060, 6GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 3 4100, 16GB DDR4 3200MHz, M.2 480GB. Please help me—I don’t know what to do...

Your fans seem to keep turning on and off repeatedly, which might mean the system isn't posting properly. If your motherboard came with a PC speaker—a tiny coin-shaped device with two wires—I’d connect it and check for a beep code. Without one, they’re around $5; I’d purchase one and possibly add a PCI-E POST card to get the exact stop code.

Make sure your drive is formatted as GPT before shutting down CSM.

I attempted but I can't find a PC speaker since I don't have a place to obtain one.
