I installed graphics card, worked fine, now not working.

Okay, so about 30 minutes ago, my graphics card wasn't working. What I did was I plugged in my monitor to my onboard gpu and booted into bios to turn off onboard graphics. Then I restarted my pc with my new graphics card then it went in. After using that pc for a little bit, I decided to turn it off. Then, a few minutes later I wanted to turn it on so I hit the power button and it didn't display on my monitor. After that I got worried then I plugged my monitor into my onboard graphics but still no luck. I think I can't use the PC because I turned off onboard graphics in the UEFI bios. Can anyone help me? Do I need to reset my cmos by taking out the battery then putting it back in? Thanks.

try to clr_cmos

unplug the pc
hit the power button to drain the residual power in the psu
pull the cmos battery
jump the CLR_CMOS jumper
wait for 5 minutes
reset the jumper, put the battery back in, plug in your system and see what happens.

Jump? Like do I take a flat head screwdriver?

typically the clr_cmos has a jumper on it. it's usually a 3 pin spot on the motherboard with tiny CLR_CMOS written next to it. the jumper is in the "open" position (typically on the RHS), pull the jumper off the 2 pins it's on, and use it to "close" the other two pins (the middle pin will always be "closed" you're just shifting the jumper from one side of the pins to the other). when you put everything back don't forget to put the jumper back on the original 2 pins.

it will look something like this
