So today I purchased new ram for my computer and it didn't work, I tried a method I saw on a forum where someone said that removing the cmos battery and putting it back in may help. It didn't fix my problem, it made it worse. I decided to put back in my old ram and now my computer isn't working. It's doing exactly what the new ram did before hand. When I put the new ram in the computer itself started but nothing else, like the monitor/keyboard and mouse, then it would eventually turn off and restart again. It is now doing that on my old ram. I have tried to unplug and replug everything and still nothing. I may have broken or damaged the CMOS battery as it doesn't stay in there and is easily able to be removed, before hand it was difficult to remove, I would have needed to use a screwdriver. I didn't know what the CMOS battery did, but I'm pretty sure that it's the reason to why my computer isn't starting. If there is anyone who knows a solution to this that would be very appreciated
If not I'm looking for the answer to my question which is, should I get a new motherboard/same motherboard and would that be able to fix my problems as it would let me have a new cmos battery, I'm certain that nothing else is broken or damaged within my PC. I am also wondering if I could just buy another CMOS battery but I think im more interested in getting a new/same motherboard if it would solve my problem.
Computer specs:
I7-4970 3.6GHz 4 core
AsRock B85M-ITX
Crucial ballistix 8Gb ram (4×2)/Crucial Ballistix sport 16GB ram (2x8) still have it
Seagate 1TB Hard Drive
MSI R9 380
Evga 500w
My motherboard:

@Captain, I only turned off the PC it was still plugged in to the wall and the power supply switch was still on. It makes its usual noise I don't know about the harddrive but it makes a beep noise when I turn it on, the cmos battery is loose and when I try to push it in it isn't all the way in meaning it has part of it being out. I currently dismantled my PC and removed all the parts and am currently trying to order a new harddrive and new motherboard
