Hello everyone, I'm trying to play Valorant and had to turn on safeboot with a platform key in BIOS. After setting it up and restarting my PC, it just started looping without any video display. I removed the CMOS and waited a while; now it’s not cycling but the debug LED is stuck at VGA. I also tried reseating the GPU and switching from DisplayPort to HDMI using different cables, but it didn’t work. I’m considering flashing the BIOS, though I’m not sure if that’s possible with my current version. Any advice would be appreciated!

Windows encounters issues when switching on or off Secure Boot. The recommended approach is to turn it on, activate TPM, and then reinstall your operating system from the beginning. Likely, your device marked the UEFI bootloader as unsafe and now it won’t start with it. This seems like a poorly designed security feature in Windows.
