My Acer desktop froze and when after I did a hard reboot I got the red box error: secure boot violation - invalid signature detected.

 

I was able to go into bios and disable secure boot. Then I was able to restart it as normal and only thing that changed was my taskbar moved from bottom to left side.

 

I am wondering what I should do now to try to figure out what caused this error. I am currently running with the secure boot disabled and trying to save some important files.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!
