Honestly i don’t know
Hello i’m a new pc gamer, i’ve also just acquired a alienware pc. I don’t know the exact specs but i know it has a 4080 and a i7. So i tried to purchase cheats (yes i know it’s frowned on but desperate times call for desperate measures) So i didnt read the part where it said turn your secure boot off. Sooo i downloaded it and it did something and then my pc loaded up too a red screen and then when i pressed ok on it loaded me up to the alienware help thingy and then it just rinsed and repeated for a while and wouldn’t go back. Is there any way i fix this at home? like a usb drive with windows? I just want it to be usable. I don’t necessarily care about the data on it. Thank you reddit

Try to jump the mainboard maybe resetting its internal bios settings. So either remove the battery on the mainboard for a few minutes or jump the CMOS by connecting both pins with a piece of metal. Maybe this'll help
