It began when my computer displayed the blue screen of death, but the message was distorted and pixelated. I attempted to use the reset button on the CPU panel, and it rebooted successfully. However, the American Megatrend splash screen remained visible during startup. Now, each time I power on my PC, I must press N first to restore normal settings. Since I’m unfamiliar with this process, I’m seeking guidance on how to get my system back to a standard boot. Additionally, when I shut down, I always disconnect the power supply and unplug the entire setup. Could someone explain what’s happening with my PC in simple terms and offer assistance?

Press Y when you're facing no issues—it shows you're not currently relying on TPM capabilities.

The issues refer to potential problems you might encounter. Regarding the TPM feature, pressing Y can restore normal boot functionality. You won’t lose any files or settings, so everything should remain intact.

TPM manages essential features such as Windows Hello and BitLocker. When reset, it reverts to requiring a password the next time it's used and restarts itself accordingly. This explains why you'd likely have noticed any impact before, as its functionality is now largely disabled.

I've verified my PC and it shows the TPM is turned off. I'll attempt to press Y when I power it back on.
