I was attempting to activate secure boot in the BIOS, which triggered an alert. I changed the platform key without understanding what it meant, and it seemed to resolve the issue—system entered User Mode as expected. After saving and logging out, my computer started up fully, but nothing would power on. All components lit up (lights, graphics card, fans), yet Windows failed to launch. When I turned it on, the keyboard and mouse didn’t activate, unlike before. If this helps, please share your thoughts in a comment. Also, could there be a dead CPU or hardware issue?

You need to refresh the TPM key.

Restart the BIOS, expect a brief pause of 5 to 15 minutes before it completes. Check if the computer powers up.

I attempted it for half an hour, then left it overnight but it didn’t work. That’s quite unusual.

Yes, there is a visible CMOS button. Try pressing it.
