My pc was not turning on properly , the CPU fan and the chassis fan were spinning but no display was there I was trying to clear the CMOS but I forgot to disconnect the power cord the pc was not on but the power cord was connected and the motherboard LED was on I used a screwdriver to short circuit it then I realised that the power cord was connected it restarted but still no display  I turned it off due to panicking after 20 seconds by pressing the cabinet power button for 10-15 seconds and haven't turned it on since , I wanna ask that will my pc work again or not, and will I be able to reset the BIOS again ? My PC's specs are
I5 9400f
Asus rog strix b365 m 
Gt 710 ( was currently using this card but I will later buy a rtx 2060 super)
Gigabyte b700h 700w
Also will replacing the CMOS help ?

Full specs, storage, case, ram?

Has the computer previously worked or is it a newly built PC that you are powering on for the first time?

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think clearing CMOS with power to the MB does any damage. Otherwise there would be a lot of burned mainboards ;)

 

Is it a fresh build PC or did your PC stop working? When the PC stopped working, did you change something before this happend? (BIOS, Components, etc.).

I built it around 2 months ago.

I had my friends graphics card a GTX 1050ti but as my new card was taking a lot of time to arrive I gave it back to him and installed my old graphics card. But even with the GTX 1050 ti the computer wouldn't turn on sometimes only the motherboard LED and the cabinet's power button LED glowed but after pressing the power button for 10 seconds it would turn off then if I tried to turn it on it would actually turn on. I also turned on the XMP.
