Question turned on secure boot and now cant load windows or get into bios to turn off

[ShadowOfEnvy85]

hi im in a bit of a pickle atm

told my friend to just enable secure boot on his gigabyte z370m ds3h and now it wont load windows or load into the bios. no splash screen or anything just all black.

tried swapping to mobo video output, clearing cmos by shorting the two pins, nothing.

anyone able to help?

Okay clearing CMOS with the 2-pin shorting is an oldy. If there is a battery on the mobo than remove it and put it back in. Another thing is how do you know if Windows isn't booting if you don't let it sit? I once waited 30 minutes for it to POST cuz I did an XMP Overclocking Profile and wanted to see if it *would* POST & it did but it so happened to just fail 5 minutes later but at least I got it to POST....................... As well as why enable S.B when it was working fine already?? LOL.............................not pointing fingers just philosophizing.........................

hes taken the battery out for 20 min, put it back in and nothing.

Okay then take out a RAM stick & the battery and unplug the system from the wall and hold the power button for however long you want until you think you've drained all the power from the system itself then wait like an hour. After that put the batt in but not the RAM, turn the power on see if it'll reestablish the BIOS again. Unhooking a stick forces the BIOS to reformat and spec out the system again. This in terms makes it so the BIOS has to reset and thus POST..........................food for thought......................if it doesn't work I have another idea
