I wanted to jump into playing BF6, but I had to enable secure boot first. When I checked the BIOS, I saw that secure boot was already on, but it said 'Not activated.' I clicked the option for the Platform Key, which prompted me to update it; I figured, why not? After that, my VGA LED turned red, and my PC got stuck. I tried reconnecting the GPU and pressing the CMOS button, but then I got stuck at the RAM LED. I've tried all the RAM slots, but nothing seems to fix the issue. What should I do now?

For quick troubleshooting, try clearing the CMOS, using just one RAM stick, and removing the GPU. If that doesn't help, your motherboard manual should have BIOS recovery options or USB flash instructions.
I totally relate! These games make you deal with so much unnecessary BIOS tweaking. If it’s too much hassle, and it's not working on your console, maybe it’s time to consider just waiting or finding an alternative.
Sounds like you're not alone in this! Secure boot can mess up systems if adjustments are made without knowing the consequences. If you have a Gigabyte motherboard, it's a common problem. Try disabling secure boot, then save and restart to the BIOS, re-enable secure boot, and save again. That might just do the trick!
A lot of people struggle with this whole secure boot situation just because they clicked buttons without understanding. You might want to look into BIOS flashback if your motherboard supports it. Google that, and you could find a way to recover from this.
Totally get your frustration! Check if your motherboard supports Q Flash Plus, especially if it's Gigabyte. If all else fails, you might have to reflash the BIOS, especially if your CPU lacks an internal GPU.
