Hello everyone

Yesterday my computer was working until i plugged a usb into one of the case ports, first the monitor showed the blue screen of death and then the PC turned off.
Now when I try to power it back on the CPU light stays on, the fans turn but there is no display output.

My specs are:
PSU: bequiet! Pure power 11 500W
CPU: RYZEN 5 3600
GPU: RTX 2060
MOTHERBOARD: MSI B550A Pro
RAM 2x8 DDR4 3200 CRUCIAL
1 SABRENT SSD M.2
1 samsung ssd 870 EVO

I am kinda desperate
Thank you in advance

Edit:
After removing all RAM the CPU turns on, then off, and then the DRAM led stays on.

But did you actually use a jumper or at least use a screwdriver to short the pins for 10-15 seconds to clear the CMOS right next to the CMOS battery -- the 2 pins are labeled JBAT1 right on the motherboard?
I unplugged the main plug from the tower, removed the CMOS battery, shorted the pins, pressed the power button a few times , plugged everything in and still nothing.

Update: since I tried for 2 days everything that I found on the internet and nothing changed I brought the pc to a repair shop,
I will keep this question open so I can update on what was the problem (if they find it)

The motherboard was broken and they replaced it. I don't know what was broken but they gave it to me... so if someone wants a random broken motherboard
