I was having trouble launching a game on my PC, so I checked Epic Games support for help. They suggested I clear the Epic Games Launcher cache and restart my PC. After doing that, my computer got stuck on a black screen and didn't reboot. I was really apprehensive because I had a similar problem before and ended up having to reinstall Windows to fix it. When I tried to power down and restart, the lights and fans in my case came on, but there was no display or signs of it booting. I planned to reinstall Windows using a USB drive, but I can't even get my PC to boot from that now. I'm completely stuck and not sure what my next step should be.

First things first, can you access the BIOS? If you can, we can try to work on booting into the OS. If you can't access BIOS, then the issue might be hardware-related rather than anything to do with the files you deleted.
Have you tried a different display cable? I had a similar issue where my cable just stopped working out of nowhere. Also, if you can, test with a different monitor. Sometimes these issues can happen unexpectedly.
The issue isn’t likely linked to the Epic Games Launcher. It sounds like the reboot caused a separate problem. If there’s no BIOS screen, it might be a display issue, a disconnected cable, or even a GPU that's malfunctioning. This could be tricky, so don’t lose hope!
