No signal during factory reset
No signal during factory reset
I chose to reset my computer completely after encountering malware. I performed a full wipe on Windows 11 and selected the cloud Windows download option. The process was lengthy, lasting around 60%, and during it the screen flickered repeatedly. To avoid any further issues, I powered down the device, removed the USB from the mouse and keyboard, turned off the monitor, and returned later to confirm everything was intact. All cables were securely connected as expected.
I experimented with connecting the display via port or HDMI from the motherboard, tested various monitors and TVs. I prefer not to shut down the computer if it’s still in factory reset mode. My system is relatively new, about five months old, and so far I haven’t faced any problems, making me believe the issue might be software-related rather than hardware.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You didn't have to do that...
After downloading some malware, you could have used Malwarebytes to remove it.
Clearing the CMOS might help restore your system. If the issue persists, try turning off the iGPU.
