Hi All

I’ve managed to brick my motherboard with Secure Boot forced by BF6. I was playing fine until last week. Had to reset it all and now can’t get back to getting it to boot. This was still running bf6 on high across the board >60fps.

Which parts are salvageable - do I just get a new mobo? Where to from this sad day?
