Question PC not showing any meaningful signs of life after turning on Secure Boot

[peeuh]

Hello, so I’ve got an b450 aorus elite with a ryzen 2700x, I am running Windows 11 and I was texting to run Valorant and it requires Secure Boot and TPM on windows 11. I already had TPM cuz windows 11. Bios is on newest version by the way. I follow a YouTube tutorial on turning on secure boot. Everything goes fine until I go and press the button to save and restart in the bios - after that this is what happens:

• All fans and HDDs spinning up, GPU too
• Other than that - nothing. Not outputting to monitor, no lights on peripherals (mouse/kb), seemingly absolutely no way to interface with the system

Red lights on board go through sequence - VGA -> CPU -> DRAM and just loops.
Here’s what I have tried: plain old turning it off and on again - same result (btw I tried seeing if it got into windows in the background or something so I shortly pressed the power button to see if it would turn off by itself - nope, waited for 5min - only turns off when holding down for 5s), resetting CMOS (both via pins and taking out battery), reseating RAM and gpu, trying to boot with just one stick of RAM… no hope!

I am turning to you guys because I’m getting really desperate, hoping that someone had a similar issue or has ANY idea on how to fix this…

Here is a previous post from Moderator COLGeek;

"Steps to enable (all AMD-based Gigabyte mobos) Secure Boot. Make sure fTPM is enabled. Make sure CSM is disabled. In Secure Boot, select custom under Secure Boot Mode, Select Restore Factory Keys, Say YES to reset without saving.

When BIOS restarts, access BIOS and change Secure Boot Mode back to Standard and then Yes to restart without save.

Let Windows boot fully."

Question - PC won't boot after turning on secure boot

Hello guys, recently I've swapped to WINDOWS 11 to try it out. Everything was working just fine but after a few days Vanguard from Valorant kept giving me error for not having TPM 2.0 and Secure boot enabled. TPM was enabled but SB was not so I went to BIOS to enable it and after restart...

Have you actually read my post?

How long did you take the battery out when doing the clear cmos? Would take it of the power again=disconnect from the wall, then take out battery, then push power button for about 30 seconds and leave the battery out for 15 minutes. Then put it back again and test.

Hey, I did it both by plugging the PC out of the wall, pressing power a few times to discharge the capacitors and taking the battery out for a few minutes (it says just 1 in the manual). I also tried shorting the pins for the CMOS reset - also did nothing. I am starting to think my board might just be bricked.

Is weird because just one setting was changed. Can you disconnect whatever storage and try again?
