I've my PC back! Since maybe more people get super angry with EA, but prefer a working computer before working BF2042...
- Disconnect power to PC
- Disconnect GPU's, I just pulled both our their slot.
- Reset the BIOS by a screwdriver or whatever to short the pins, see manual where the pins are located
- Resetting the BIOS makes sure your iGPU is enabled again (for me it was disabled)
- Be sure to have a monitor connected directly at the motherboard (for me it's an HDMI connection)
- Turn PC on again, after you connected the power again
- You will see a message BIOS is reset and you can load in an old profile if you saved any. Just make sure you disable the secure boot.
- Save your updated settings and let the PC boot again so you're at least in Windows again
- If that worked, turn the PC off again
- Insert the GPU(s) into their slot(s)
- Go into BIOS to disable the iGPU if you want, or just keep it enabled for now
- Start Steam or the EA App
- Uninstall BattleField 2042
- Write a post at this forum to ventilate what a bloody stupid idea this secure boot thing is
- Sell all of remaining EA stock.
- Buy RoadCraft, it's super relaxed and works better than mindfulness.
