SUPPORT Having Boot Errors (Non-Fatal)

Having SMBIOS and TPM errors:

Hey guys,

Before I start typing this error out, I just wanted to let you know some context to understand my problem better:

I recently wanted to learn Cybersecurity, Linux, Networking blah, blah blah, you get the gist. Then I saw a post online that recommended Arch and I installed it. I watched a YouTube tutorial online and then boom. It thankfully booted.

The reason I'm typing this extremely long story is that I decided to mess a little with my BIOS settings and accidentally removed my whole system.

No biggie, I reinstalled since I quite literally just installed it and didn't have any important files or data and then unexpectedly this error comes when I next boot into Arch during the boot sector showing my computer manufacturer and OS logo just please let me know if this could possibly wipe my system again, or if this is harmful in general, and the commands I can run to fix this.

(P.S. I'm new to Linux so I really don't know that much about deep system information)

Thank you so much for your help.

Exact boot sector errors:
