I'm having a frustrating issue with my Gigabyte Z390 UD motherboard. I can't seem to access the BIOS — no matter how many times I hit the DEL key or try the Windows Advanced Startup, it goes straight to Windows every single time. The only time I managed to see a boot menu was when I accidentally corrupted Windows and had to choose the boot device from a USB stick.
Now I'm facing an issue with Valorant that gives me a VAN9005 error, which needs TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. Here's what I've got:
- BIOS Mode: UEFI
- Secure Boot: OFF
- TPM: Not found (using `tpm.msc` shows no compatible TPM)
- CPU: Intel with integrated GPU
- GPU: Dedicated (HDMI plugged into my GPU)
I've already reset the CMOS battery, but I'm still unable to get into the BIOS to enable TPM and Secure Boot — I just get a black screen instead. I've tried different monitors, HDMI ports, and USB boot options, but nothing seems to work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

What CPU are you using? Sometimes the BIOS settings can be a bit finicky depending on the processor. If you have a recent Intel CPU, there might be specific settings in the BIOS that you'll need to look for. Let me know!
I have an Intel Core i5.
