Secure Boot required to play valorant
okay so I was playing valorant and randomly my game crashed and said I needed tpm 2.0 and secure boot enabled to play. Tpm 2.0 was no problem. (Keep in mind Im on windows 10 home at this point). I go into the bios attempt to turn on secure boot and all of a sudden my PC can no longer boot into windows and whenever I turn my PC on all it says is "Display port no signal" after numerous yt videos and reddit threads later I fix it by updating some drivers. I now have secure boot on and can play valorant. Fast forward to yesterday and my game randomly crashes and says something like "UEFI secure boot must be enabled" I try to go into the bios and all of a sudden I can't go into the bios but instead my pc boots straight into windows and trying to press delete (my motherboards designated key to enter bios) just gives me no signal on my display. I upgrade to windows 11 to see if that changes anything and it doesn't. My PC is allergic to entering the bios. I've tried using recovery mode, resetting the CMOS, reseating GPU, CPU, RAM, SSD, multiple PC restarts spamming the DEL key, Using command prompt to enter bios, using a different screen and cable as well as using HDMI and Display Port. Nothing seems to work and my pc refuses to do anything in the POST and boot up process other then go straight into windows. I've searched all over the internet and nothing has seemed to help. If any of you have any ideas I would love to hear them

:susdge: resetting the cmos should’ve fixed the issue
it did the first time
ive reset it about 20 times this time around and nothing
So you tried to enabled secure boot again after the first reset ?
Just a thought and I could be wrong, you might have to replace the battery. :AG_SubaThink:
Ive already Replaced the battery
I was able to enable secure boot originally after some troubleshooting weeks back but randomly it had been unabled by something based on the message I got on val
This was before I even did any major update
So idk how that even happened
At this point I'm really only down to 3 options.
1. Resetting windows
2. Updating gpu drivers
3. My hardware is cooked
