I have an iBuyPower desktop that is a couple years old. I was doing windows updates and it notified me that my computer didn't support windows 11 due to no trusted platform module. (Warning, idiocy ahead). I booted into the BIOS and found an Intel trusted something or other setting that was disabled. I enabled it. Now my computer won't boot. I just get a weird graphical glitch and then it goes away and nothing. Fans still spin. No post beeps. Nothing.

enter image description here

Other things I changed:

  • Disabled Overclocking
  • Disabled "full screen boot"
  • Enabled "beep on boot"

Motherboard: Z370 IB-R

    "an Intel trusted something or other setting" ... Was it Intel Trusted Execution Technology?

  • And POST fails so you cannot get to the BIOS/UEFI screen?

  • What's in the screen capture is all I see. I've tried spamming F8, F9, F12, DEL. Nothing different happens. The glitch appears for about 3 seconds then it goes black again. No beeps.

    You'll need to clear the CMOS. intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000025368/…

If changes to BIOS/UEFI settings caused the computer to fail POST, clearing the CMOS (either with a jumper or by removing the CMOS battery for 5 minutes then reseating) will restore the settings to factory defaults.
