One night I forgot to power down my PC and it crashed. After restarting, it wouldn’t boot and I used the Windows Startup Repair. It kept showing a red screen with a secure boot message. I looked it up and turned off secure boot. Now the system boots but displays a black screen when I try to open BIOS. I’ve tried almost everything else—switching OS, changing RAM, updating drivers, even replacing the motherboard—but nothing worked. On my first new board install, I pressed Y to clear FTMP, otherwise N made it go black. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have another user facing the same problems? Are you checking your RAM in the motherboard slot? Have you run MemTest86? Is the BIOS restored to its original settings?

Thanks for your message! The RAM came with the CPU in a bundled package, but it seems to have some issues. I had to exchange one stick before, and both passed Memtest86 before that. The BIOS settings weren’t returned to their original state. It’s unclear whether they sent me a new unit or just repackaged my old one due to minor scuffs, and the BIOS is still at its latest update. Would you mind sharing his thread so I can check if any of his suggestions might help resolve this problem?

I noticed the timing differences between your bios and the Ram stick. Could this variation influence its performance?

It's feasible. During problem-solving for computer issues, it's always best to reset everything in the BIOS to its original or standard settings and proceed from there.

I’ve re-set CMOS numerous times now, probably just trying to replace all components until it functions. I got new RAM that’s quite dependable and available at the store, and if that fails I’ll use the CPU warranty. Pain

Have you experimented with starting from a single RAM stick in various slots?
