The system restarted after updating BIOS but won’t reach the BIOS menu.
I was adjusting BIOS settings, switching from Legacy to UEFI, configuring Secure Boot and enabling certain Intel features, then restarted my machine. Now the screen is off and the PC shuts on and off repeatedly. After unplugging it, removing the CMOS battery for ten minutes, and reinserting it, the issue persisted. I connected two CLR_CMOS pins using a screwdriver, attached the power-on switch, and held it for about thirty seconds. Once reconnected the power cable, the system restarted and entered its boot cycle again. Initially, it emitted a few beeps at roughly one per second. I also tried removing and reinserting RAM and other components without success. It seems the problem isn’t related to power supply, as all components appear to receive power. What could be causing this, and how should I address it?
Switch off your PC and disconnect the power cable. Disconnect the power supply unit and unplug the power adapter. Place a thin layer of tinfoil over the pins and secure it with red tape to reset the BIOS. Be sure to remove the power source if you don’t want any issues.

Just here to help with simple questions.
I think you're referring to connecting two CLR_CMOS pins. I've already tried that. Using a screwdriver didn't work, and the Power On plug information I found didn't help either.
If the script driver isn't functioning properly, then the tray should just open as usual—just like it did before. I'm still dealing with issues with the CMOS and BIOS, but I don't think turning on the power plug will help right now.
It seems risky for the operating system. I’d attempt to reinstall Windows using a USB drive, assuming your information is secure.
You can still proceed by using alternative methods such as physical access or contacting support for guidance.
Another motherboard is stuck after enabling secure boot. There’s no dependable solution. It won’t let you flash the BIOS without going through it, which means you’ll probably need a replacement. You might want to look up possible workarounds and test them one by one. I ended up having to purchase a new board.
There isn't any way to repair it without a special tool that would reset everything.
