Noob to PCs has started working on my first build. After a game armoury crate reported my GPU driver was outdated, I proceeded with the update. Now my red CPU light and orange drama light are lit. Windows won’t boot normally; I only see a black screen unless I enter BIOS. I’m unsure how to fix this or begin troubleshooting.

Can you start the computer in Safe Mode by restarting and holding the left SHIFT key until you see Advanced Startup options?
If yes, obtain DDU from another device, run it in Safe Mode, and remove any drivers linked to a GPU. After that, download and install the newest AMD Adrenaline drivers directly from their site by going to the provided link.

I cannot enter safe mode; the Windows logo simply doesn't appear. When I begin, the dram flashes turn orange, followed by the CPU flashing red, the GPU flashing white, and then it turns green after the flash.

The system starts up properly under Windows but continues to display error indicators.

Perform the actions you outlined and check if the error lights disappear. You may need to restart your BIOS for a complete clearance.
