I installed Linux Mint on my PC, using dual boot with Windows 7. After deleting the Linux partition, I expanded the Windows 7 partition and restarted the system. During boot, I encountered an error related to GRUB, which I resolved. Now, when I power on, it displays the manufacturer's logo prompting me to press DEL to enter BIOS, but it stays there indefinitely until it successfully boots into BIOS before switching to Windows 7. Meanwhile, my dual monitor is no longer functioning properly and isn't recognized by Windows 7. Could you assist me with this issue?

No, I haven't tried restoring your BIOS yet.

My computer is really messed up. Everything feels off. It makes me think about replacing the graphics card and starting fresh. I managed to fix the logo screen to work again, but my second monitor isn’t functioning properly—maybe the display port is damaged.

I've successfully restored my second monitor. I had to switch the display port to 1.2 and turn it off. It's confusing why this happened, but it seems like a simple fix. I still don't grasp what caused the issue completely, though I found some advice suggesting not to remove the Linux partition before expanding Windows. It doesn't seem to have affected the rest of my PC. I suspect my motherboard might be failing. My external HDD no longer appears in Windows 7.
