need help with this, secure boot = enabled = bios loop
Not sure what's exactly going on, idk if its hardware or software. I've been dealing with this since yesterday and cant seem to figure it out. (context) i added some ram to my system, to total 32 GB, my dumbass forgot to turn off my pc as it was sleeping, i realized what i did and turned it off. then added them in afterwards. it was giving me some trouble at first but i ended up resetting my motherboard (taking battery out) which ig F***** all the security keys or something, and now i cant turn secure boot on without it looping to the bios menu. I've tried updating the firmware on my GPU cause that was a problem once upon a time in the world, I've tried clearing my TPM in windows, and clearing the keys in bios and "reinstalling" the defaults. i don't know i feel like i tried a lot of things. Any help would be Greatly appreciated.
TL;DR
[Added RAM while the PC was sleeping, then powered it off and installed the RAM. After some issues, I cleared the CMOS by removing the motherboard battery, which seems to have messed with my Secure Boot/firmware keys.]
Now, Secure Boot causes my PC to boot straight back into the BIOS instead of Windows.
Things I've already tried:
- Updated GPU firmware
- Cleared TPM in Windows
- Cleared and reinstalled Secure Boot keys/default keys in BIOS
- Reset the motherboard/CMOS
- Tried various BIOS settings
Windows works normally with Secure Boot disabled, but enabling it causes the BIOS loop. I'm running out of ideas and would really appreciate some help figuring out what's wrong.
