Hello everyone sorry if this is a repost but I like to hear many opinions.

I was updating my Asus direct cu II r9 290 preparing to over clock and I didn't realize I had a game running my computer froze up whilst it was installing and waited 5 hours and it was still frozen so I turned it off. Now the screen won't even turn back on, The computer runs but no USB devices turn on including mouse and keyboard.
PLEASE HELP?!

List of my computer parts here

I tried reseting the cmos by pulling the battery out it didn't work. My Asus saber tooth motherboard doesn't have any ports on it I can plug a screen into should I try reinstalling windows 8

[Yous][Do a system restore to the point before the installation and that should fix it. Also, let me know if it happens again while you're trying to install the driver.]

Kinda impossible as the screen doesn't even come on.

A CMOS reset requires more than just removing the battery. Same issue I had since the last CMOS reset I did was years ago, but a few Youtube videos helped. Google "How to do a CMOS reset?" and it should come up. I'd leave a link but I'm on my phone and it's terribly slow. Good luck anyhow.

I moved the jumper on the cmos reset pins then moved it back should have done it but It didn't fix it I have even tried plugging a mate graphics card in and it didn't work with the display plugged into it.
