I was having to enable secure boot for valorant to be played so I went into my system and made a platform key enabled, enabled secure boot, disabled CSM then saved and exited for restart and now my screen canβt find a signal but the computer can still come on as well as the keyboard, mouse, etc.
I even tried taking out the GPU, the RAM and trying to get just cpu to boot up the screen to no avail.
have you tried resetting the BIOS back to factory settings, since this was working before you made your changes.
on the motherboard there is usually a jumper labelled CLR CMOS (or similar).
look at the motherboard manual for your make/model and it will show you how to use that jumper.
or, just remove the CMOS battery, and the power cord, and press the power button as if you were starting the PC.
this will drain any residual current in the system.
then put the CMOS battery and power cord back in and start the PC, hitting the key (usually F2) to get into BIOS and setup your date/time and other settings according to your needs.

Closest thing I see is that bottom left part that says CLRMOS1
thatβll be it!
now you just have to find out how it clears the BIOS settings.
looks like itβs currently jumpered on pin 1 and 2, so it could need moving to pin 2 and 3 - or it could be to remove the jumper altogether.
so dig out the mobo manual, the answer will be in there!

On the 2 and 3 pin the PC wonβt come on at all. With it off still nothing but PC turns on. Replacing it back to where it was PC is on but screen still not working. Also will the cmos battery be on the mother board and have the letters by it? Or is it the big flat circular lithium one Iβve already tried removing and replacing back in?
yep, itβs the flat, round, button cell battery, probably labelled CR2032.
from memory, I think you move the jumper to the other side, and try to start the PC, then turn it off.
but this is where reading the manual help, if you donβt have it, go to your mobo manufactures web site and get it!
and if you are removing the battery, you then need to βstartβ the PC with the power cable unplugged, as stated earlier!

Iβve done every top Iβve found. Last resort is gonna have to be either new PC or a PC store to help
last resort before you take it to a repair shopβ¦
strip out all the components and reassemble on a piece of cardboard.
take the opportunity to clean dust buildup off the components.
for starters, only reassemble the parts needed to simply get a signal to the screen.
so no drives, no peripherals, no DVD unit, no GPU (unless your CPU doesnβt have dedicated graphics), only one memory stick, not even a mouse - just a keyboard to hit F2 to get you into BIOS.

Only things visibly dusty are the fans and graphics card. Even then itβs been working fine with some dust for over 2 years so itβs just time to take it to an expert after all the other tips have failed
