EATX +12V Power Connector Problem

Hi this is my first time to post a problem and I usually fix things on my own but I can't fix this one

As you can see on the GIF above, when I plug in a +12V EATX Pin to the motherboard, it makes a short circuit and when I removed it the motherboard works again but it doesn't boot.

I tried resetting the CMOS Battery and the Jumper Reset on the given manual, different power supplies with +12V EATX pin but none of them worked.

 

Is there any ways I can fix this? I don't want my personal PC to die on me...

Why did you do it when the computer is running?

I'm sure why either, but tho I tried plugging the +12V EATX Pin before I turned it on it still has the same result when I turned it on.

Most likely you've damaged the Motherboard. It's not ideal to connect power to a PC that's on.

Take the setup out of the case. Something like this would happen if the contacts on the back of the motherboard touched the case.

I did this only twice, the problem started when I turn on the PC with all connectors plugged in
