I've had my computer for almost ten years, and it's a bit of a mix-and-match of parts, but the main components are a Ryzen 5900x CPU and an NVIDIA 4090 GPU. Recently, after a routine restart prompted by Steam, my system started freezing during the boot process. The boot screen hangs, and shortly after, my monitor displays a 'lost signal' message. This has been consistent every time I try to boot up. However, I can still access the BIOS and the Windows recovery tool without any display issues. So far, I've only tried power cycling and unplugging the computer for a while, but that hasn't solved the problem. I'm looking for any suggestions on what I can do next to troubleshoot this issue!

Have you tried resetting the CMOS? Sometimes that can help if there's a conflict with the BIOS settings or hardware. Just be cautious if you have important data on your system; it's always good to back things up before making changes.
It sounds like you might have a driver issue, especially since you mentioned seeing a 'VGA card not supported by UEFI driver' message after the reset. Check if you can load an older version of the video driver if you can access safe mode. It might help resolve the signal loss.
