I faced an issue where my monitor failed to show anything on another thread in this forum. Initially, everything worked smoothly in the morning, but after a five-hour session with my PC—something I've done many times without problems—I couldn’t see anything when I tried to restore it. I removed the graphics card and used the built-in graphics; the BIOS loaded successfully. However, the BIOS reported that no boot drives were detected. It still lists all my drives, including the one with Windows installed. I confirmed everything was connected properly, removed the CMOS battery for about 20 minutes, downloaded the Windows installation media, and used a flash drive to run it. I went through Repair > Troubleshoot > Advanced Options. I attempted Startup Repair first, but after the loading screen it stated the repair couldn’t fix the issue. I also tried uninstalling updates, restoring settings, and recovering system images, but nothing resolved it. What should I do next?

Details: ASUS TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WIFI D4 i5-13600k, 16GB RAM, Gigabyte GTX 1060, 6GB, 650W PSU, boot drive is a Samsung 980 Pro NVME SSD, plus two additional NVME drives and two non-M.2 SSDs.
