Hello everyone!
Gigabyte b450m ds3h
R5 5600x
4x8gb ddr4 2666mhz
Rx6600xt
PNY 500gb nvme

My dumb mind tried to enable secure boot on this mobo to play faceit (for cs2).

I didn't google before, thinking it is as simple as enabling most things in BIOS (been playing with PCs since x486 yet still dumb af)

fTPM was ON.
CSM was ON.
I enabled personal key (if i'm not mistaken), then enabled Secure Boot and restarted.
Didn't get a signal after that... Ofc clearing CMOS didn't work with both methods.
Kb and mouse don't light up.

Is there a solution except RMA ? Or my mobo is bricked?

Help plz!

Secure boot works with UEFI, Reset CMOS by removing battery.

It was already on UEFI... Removing the battery for more than 10min AND shorting CLR CMOS jumper didn't do nothing...
As @DRagor said, i'll have to try an APU... The problem is that the kb and mouse don't light and the PC can't even be shut down unless i push the on off button for 5sec...
 
Quite likely bricked BIOS causing this. Common issue on old Gigabyte boards. The newer ones have Secure boot enabled on default (which comes with its own problems btw but at least you don't risk bricking board).
Damn :/ So i have to change the mobo then...
I guess the bios chip can be changed by soldering?
Thank's for your replies man. Despite it being a lost cause...

It should be possible to just re-program BIOS chip without having to resort to soldering. Unless it is bricked beyond repair that is. It is a 15 mins work for someone with right equipment.
