''Monitor not receiving signal'' because all of Bitlocker, and probaly my stupidity, help me! :( (I learned a new lesson after this)

[Gerackr]

Hello everybody, I have this issue which is probaly very common, but I find this weird. So my PC was working extremely fine, until I know about the Windows 10 Pro's feature called ''Bitlocker'', I first known about Bitlocker several weeks ago, and I am regret for knowing it. Several weeks ago i discovered Bitlocker and try to use it, I go through the setup wizard, and then stop midway through, i didn't remember i was going to what part of the setup progress, and that night I said to myself: ''Never gonna touch on that again''. but I won't, though, just 4 days ago, I go on setting up Bitlocker, everything was normal at the first time, It's say that my device is not supported because it can't use a TPM,.. I should stop at this point, but then I search for the solutions on the net and get rid of the error, but then again it's ask me to restart, after clicking on the screen prompt: ''Restart to complete ..'' my monitor then showing a black backround, with a white text saying:'' No operating system '' (at this time I still able to boot into BIOS) after that I think in my head: ''Maybe the boot drive is broken, I should bring it to the pc technicians'', they ask me why my main boot drive is dividend into 3 different drive, I think that because of Bitlocker so I tell them that it's because I messed up with my computer and get my boot drive encrypted, then they combined all 3 into 1 single drive like original, wipe all the data on the boot drive and installing a fresh new Windows 10 on it, they don't test it on their system though, then I plug in the SSD (my boot drive) and ... this time I can't even boot into BIOS and not seeing BIOS Splash Screen at all, everything in my case is running and shinning (RGB) but my monitor just showing : ''Checking for signal'' and then ''No signal found, go to power saving mode shortly'' and then it's turn off, gone black, also my Mouse and Keyboard is not working too, I don't know why  Yesterday, I decided to buy a new SSD as a boot drive, shiny new good smelling SSD with a Windows 10 bootable USB, I take out the old SSD, plug the new in, remove the HDD (to not getting confused during clean install Windows), things are good until I power on, this time I can't get to BIOS or seeing BIOS Splash Screen either, everything in my Case are running / shinning but Monitor is not receiving signal and also Mouse, Keyboard not even working

1) i think the "technicians" just messed with you and didn't do anything at all

2) so your main drive is your 2nd hdd since you have a SSD as the main boot device?

3) bitlocker won't mess up like this, even if you shut down or restart when encrypting, it'll continue when you boot up again.

4) not sure what you mean by your drive got divided into 3 drives. you mean 3 partitions?

 

5) it's probably a badly seated ram or a dead gpu if you have on. reseat your rams

6) try using the onboard display if you have it

Thanks for reply ..

2. No, I have 2 drives on my PC, one is for boot (SSD) another is store things (HDD), the SSD broke so I buy a new SSD to replace it

4. Yes, it is ... I just don't think about that words ..

5. I don't think so, but haven't try either, because that IF I don't mess with Bitlocker, My PC would have been alright, like I don't know why, suddenly it's turn out like this

6. same as above

I haven't clear CMOS yet, but it's hidden and guess I'm gonna remove the CPU Cooler and the GPU to do it, Do you guys think that if I am not plug out the boot drive after receiving ''No operating system'' and bring it to the PC Technician things would become better now ? like, instead of doing that, I order a new SSD as a boot drive and just replace the current boot drive and then clean install Windows 10 on it with an USB ...

This issue is the most first weirdest issue I have ever encountered in my life ...

[Gerackr]

I will try to solved this issue by myself and with some help from a local pc repair shop and, we will see what it go, hopefully it's will be an easy fix, i will update when things getting beter .. or ''shiter''

[Gerackr]

Have a nice day everyone, hope you doing great, and try not to get any error like me, it's better when you boot up and it's goes into BIOS or Windows, it's make you happy, or what ever ...

The reason why this works, is that it "unset" the TPM settings in the BIOS, and unset the UEFI boot settings. The defaults on pretty much every system at present is UEFI boot, secure boot disabled, legacy rom enabled/disabled (depending on year.) If you wipe the windows boot manager from the drive, you can usually still boot directly the windows partition, but not if bitlocker is turned on. TPM 2.0 requires secure boot turned on and legacy roms turned off.

 

For those who might find this through search engines, Do not turn bitlocker on unless you turned the TPM on in the BIOS first. I'd probably not even recommend turning it on at all unless it's a laptop and you're traveling through airports/train stations where there's a high possibility of theft.

 

Under normal conditions, you can just wipe the drive, without fiddling with anything at all in the bios. But if you're reinstalling the OS, you need to reset the TPM too.
