I tried enabling secure boot while I was working with the BF6 beta, thinking it wouldn't be a big issue. Now, however, my computer just boots to a black screen and doesn't post at all. I've attempted several fixes including removing the RAM, GPU, and even the CMOS battery, but nothing seems to work. Interestingly, I've noticed that the EZ Debug LED lights up white next to the CPU and DRAM slots. Here are my specs for context: B450M PRO-VDH MAX, 16GB DDR4 RAM, GTX 1070, and Ryzen 5 3600.

It sounds like you're not alone! I've seen a few folks, like u/TYBTD, experiencing similar issues with MSI motherboards after enabling secure boot. It might be a bug related to that feature. Have you tried resetting the BIOS settings? Sometimes, that can help get things working again. Let us know how it goes!
I had a similar issue, and I ended up resolving it by flashing my BIOS. Here’s what I did: 1) I formatted a USB stick to FAT32, 2) downloaded the firmware from the manufacturer's site, ensuring to grab just the main file, 3) renamed it to MSI.ROM, and 4) plugged the USB into the flash slot on the back and pressed the BIOS button. If you're using an MSI board, this should work, but be sure to check if your brand is different since the file name might not apply. Good luck!
Thanks, that sounds promising! I’ll try renaming the file and see if it helps.
I haven't tried resetting the BIOS yet. I'll give that a shot and report back!
