I use an Asus B760M motherboard. I understand this is a common problem when it comes to this motherboard. However now that display is gone, i am unable to go to BIOS to deactivate XMP.
The most common solution is to reset BIOS using the pins on the board. I did that several times but didn't work. I also removed CMOS battery and tried again, didn't work.

What do i do at this point? Is it possible that i hurt the ram or the motherboard on a hardware level?

GPU:Intel Arc B580 12GB GDDR6 192 Bit
CPU:Intel Core i7 14700KF 3.40 Ghz
MOBO: Asus PRIME B760M-A-CSM 7200mhz(OC)
RAM: Kingston 64GB(2x32) Beast Black EXPO 6000mhz CL30 DDR5 Ram
PSU: Gigabyte 850W P850GM 80+ Gold
SSD: Kingston 2TB NV3 NVMe Gen4

What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard?

PSU: Gigabyte 850W P850GM 80+ Gold
That PSU is known as a dumpster fire in the industry. Gamers Nexus did a video on the P series of PSU's from Gigabyte.

Ideally if you want to clear the CMOS, you disconnect from the wall and display, remove the CMOS battery, press and hold down the power button for 30secs and then reseat the battery after 30mins.

I use the latest bios version.

I didn't know that about the PSU. Should i change it?

I did these except for waiting 30mins after. I will try it.

I also tried booting bios from an USB. I put the latest bios and renamed it. Then put the usb stick and tried opening the pc. Didn't work again.

I waited 30mins and didn't work again. Is it possible psu hurt the gpu?
 
Maybe your motherboard just conked out, try and drop the GPU onto a known working platform with a reliably built PSU and see if the issue persists.

According to this article, psu is fixed on the new version. It is still not the best but i've already bought it. Do you think it is worth to replace it with a new one or just use it?

And what do you think about these replacements below?

Mobo: MSI B760M Gaming Plus Wi-Fi Intel LGA1700 DDR5

PSU: Antec NeoEco NE850 850w
