I tried to enable Secure Boot on my PC after getting a prompt for the game BF2042, which requires it for anti-cheat. I went into the BIOS and found Secure Boot, only to discover it was in setup mode. I ended up generating a 'PK' key, switched to user mode, and successfully enabled Secure Boot. But after saving and exiting the BIOS, my computer won't display anything—power is on, fans are spinning, and lights are on, but no picture at all. A friend suggested I remove my GPU and keep only one RAM stick to check if I can at least get into the BIOS using the motherboard display. I need any advice on how to troubleshoot this because my PC seems really messed up right now. I'm using Windows 10 with an MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX Gaming Motherboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried clearing the BIOS settings? It might help to reset everything back to default. Updating your BIOS to the latest version could also be a good move if your motherboard supports a BIOS flashback feature—some of them allow that without a CPU or RAM, by using a specific button at the back. It’s worth checking out!
I attempted to reset the CMOS, but without a display, I can't confirm if it worked. I'll look into flashing the BIOS later. Thanks for the tip!
