PC Won’t turn on Please help :(

Blizzxeu

My specs:
B450M Pro M2
Ryzen 5 2600 Stock cooler
Sapphire nitro+ RX 580
1TB HDD
2x8 Crucial ballistix tactical 3000
Corsair TXM650W 
I also have 2 fans plugged into my PSU via Molex. I got rid of the thermal paste on my CPU today and replaced it and I dropped my screwdriver recklessly on to the motherboard. I’ve tried turning it on and it won’t not even the fans turn on the PSU just won’t give any power, have I fried my motherboard and what can I do to make sure it’s not that any helps is appreciated a lot.

I know this is a stupid question but, is it plugged in properly or in the right outlet?

It's possible that your screwdriver might have cut one of the traces on your motherboard. Absolutely nothing turns on?

Unplug the molex connected fans if they weren't there before. Try to get the system into it's previous state to test.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

The only thing swapped was the ram and the cpu cooler being reseated. I must of cut a trace.
