Hi.
My problem started with the power button on my chassis being broken, so I decide to turn it on through the motherboard by the good'ol method of using a screw driver and the PWR pins. I did and everything seemed fine, it turned on and the motherboard screen flashed and stayed for a minute and then the black screen of death happened. I began to worry, I looked up solutions and one solution said that I might need to clr_cmos, I was like okay lets give this a try. I removed my GPU unpluged my PC and everything and cleared the cmos and then put it all back together and started up my PC and its began to restart and then I remember that readjusting the rams is a solution for this. I did that and it worked but then I remembered that I cannot access my BIOS since I remembered my MOBO is not allowing my USB 2.0 keyboard to access bios. Then I was stuck again, and now I shut my PC and looked for a new solution and remembered that my keyboard used to work before I bought my new GPU, so I decided to take it out and try it again and now my PC keeps restarting again and again. I later put the GPU back where it was and tried again still the same issue.

What I have tried so far

1. Readjusting the ram
2. Putting them in different modules
3. cleaning the CMOS battery
4. reclearing the CMOS

Any help will be appreciated Please I have my winter vacations till jan and this is the only time I have to play any games and I have wasted 2 days already thank you in advance to the angel of a person who's advice will result in my PC working

Solution
Strip everything down and with only your OS drive, see if you can boot up to your desktop.

FYI, when posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. List them like so:

Also in this case your peripherals:
