Intel NUC D54250WYK does not display after trying to upgrade ESXi

[DJame16]

Have Intel NUC D5420WYK, monitor plugged in via PCIe MiniCard. Was running ESXi 6.0 on it. Box had not been used a year. Created bootable USB drive using Rufus to re-install ESXi 6.7. Got some BIOS errors. YouTube video recommended turning on SecureBoot prior to USD drive install. As we got into the ESXi 6.7 install, signal to monitor died. NUC will still boot, keyboard lights and network interface lights on, but no display image. Tried powering down, no go, reset CMOS, no go. Any thoughts?

Test your monitor with the DP or HDMI ports on the NUC.

Doc - You were spot on! Looks like the bootable USB install wacked part of the BIOS. We are able to access the NUC using the HDMI port. Will probably try to reset BIOS before doing additional installation/testing. Thanks again very much for your insights!!
