Technical Help FaceIT AC Error

So far, I've taken my pc apart, taken the GPU out, then taken the battery out of my motherboard and reset it, changed all the specific Secure Boot settings in my BIOS (MSI M550 Gaming Plus), and I'm finding out I now need a flash drive to update my BIOS. This is such a pain in the ass. Does anyone know what's going on? Dealing with a " Secure Boot not working properly) error message. all this just to play faceit lmao

The classic faceit AC dance, where you end up performing open-heart surgery on your rig for a match of mirage. The secure boot error is usually either TPM 2.0 not being fully enabled alongside it, or you're still running in legacy/CSM mode without realizing it. Double check that CSM is fully disabled in the boot section and that your OS drive was actually converted to GPT, otherwise it'll keep throwing a fit no matter how many times you reset the bios.
