I Set a Platform Key (PK) and enabled Secure boot, now my pc wont post

[freedaheeb]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to check if my pc would be able to use secure boot for windows 11. So i went into my Bios (MSI UEFI Click 5) and tryed to enable it. It told me that i have to be in usermode so i needed a platform key. I set one in the bios automaticly (cant remember the value) and enabled secure boot. After saving and restarting my PC would not post even to the BIOS. It turns on and the fans are spinning but there is no image displayed or my monitor even registers a signal.

 

My speccs:

 

MSI B550-A Pro with UEFI click 5 (not newest version

Rysen 3600

GSkill 16 GB 3200 Hz

MSI GTX 970

1 TB Corsaire SSD

2 TB HDD

 

I tryed resetting the CMOS by removing the BIOS Battery for 15 Minutes -no result

I also disconnected my SSD and HDD to see if the BIOS Shows up - no result

 

The EZ Debugg SSD on the Motherboard goes from CPU to DRAM to VGA and then ends on BOOT and the boot led Stays lit

 

I realy dont know what to do since i get no accses to my bios.

 

Thanks for any help or I have to bring the system to an costly repair shop

Edit: nevermind.

Try to turn off PSU. Remove CMOS battery for 5 min. Remove any sata devices (yes 2x HDD). Boot.

I have the same issue as him. After work i will try your solution.

Another error...

I already removed the CMOS Battery (labeled Bat1 next to the JBAT1 Jumper) for nearly 15 Minutes and no strogage devise is connected by SATA, USB or M2

Maybe you've done something else while handling that battery... check all connectors, reseat ram and gpu ?

 

Edit : press Del during Post, maybe your screen is off but the computer is running, HDMI or DP ?

[DoctorNick]

Check monitor source. (what display cable and option monitor is set to)

Just to make sure... you disconnected the power cord while doing this, right?

[freedaheeb]

When ever I work in my Case I disconect the PSU Turn it off and hold the powerbutton for a few seconds, I have no grounding cable, so i touch my radiator before working and every few minutes.

 

I reseated GPU and RAM most connectors are now removed like fans and usb.

 

still no result in any form

 

How could i chek if my pc is running but just not displaying?

 

I am not able to enter my Monitor settings when it has no signal, because it will not realy turn on ( really old acer with DVI cable)

No, I just mean the plug going from the power supply to the mains socket.

Sorry I have only a realy old Monitor with VGA and DVI ports

 

Therefore I have this "old" GTX 970 which has DVI Ports

 

By the way I tested Both ports on the GPU for Signal.

 

I will Try to Flash my BIOS With the "Flash BIOS Button" from the I/O Panel and will update if it helps

[freedaheeb]

Ok Thanks MSI for the "Flash BIOS Button"

 

I used the newest non Beta Bios Version to Flash my BIOS succsesfully. (nearly got a Heart attack, because the first USB Stick I tried stopped after 5 secs and I thought I bricked my Motherboard second USB Stick went fine)

 

- after Flashing the PC went strait to the BIOS.

- corrected Date and Time

- shut down PC and reconnected everything and Booted it up

 

Windows started with no Problems.

 

Thanks for the fast help from everyone and I hope this post helps other people like nerd1995

 

Have a nice day you all, mine is definitly safed
