Aurora R9, ran Updates, not connecting to monitors
Hello!
Last night I ran Updates and Shut Down. Now when I power on my computer, the front LED turns light blue, and it doesn't connect to any monitors? I've tried different cables, monitors, taking out and putting the graphics card back in, etc.

< it doesn't connect to any monitors.
What makes you think it is even BIOS-Posting and booting at all?
Sounds like a BIOS update might have been forced upon your Aurora-R9, and it went badly.

If you really can't find the "Failed BIOS Upgrade" troubleshooting steps, just let us know.
However, that would be strange since about 40% of the messages on this forum are related to that.

I've read the BIOS Recovery page, but it's not powering my keyboard so I can't use CTRL+ESC.
edit: also, after that, how would I go through selection menus without being able to see them?

Did you try a CMOS reset?

hello!
I did that,, and now my computer is in an endless loop of restarting.
First, it boots up, and immediately bluescreens, saying that there's an error. Second, it goes into supportassist, and does a system scan. It says "no hardware issues found" and goes into OS Recovery. Third, It says there's an OS_BOOT_FAILURE, and tries to repair. it only finds an error with the Partition Table, says "We've restored your PC to a working state", and restarts. Then it repeats.

Windows 10 is busted. try a fresh clean install of Win 10 now you have got video on screen, using a bootable USB installation media (MS media creation tool). After successful Win 10 Pro install try to edit group policy to disable automatic Windows 10 update.

Yes, your Windows installation seems to have issues. At least you have your monitor working again.

I've done this, but it's still
boots up -> blue screen ("DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION") -> restarts -> repeat

Driver verifier is a technical tool in windows 10. You have to disable it.
in a command prompt
verifier /reset
OR
verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail

I would do a reinstall with a bootable Windows USB media. Looks to me like your windows installation is corrupt, Hopefully you have a recent backup of your important data.
