Earlier today I accidentally pressed the clear cmos button on the back of my desktop, and now when my computer boots up there's no signal from my monitor despite it working perfectly before, and I've figured out it's not a monitor issue. I've tried clearing the cmos/bios, restarting my computer several times, held down the power button and clear cmos button for 30 seconds (with and without inputs plugged in), tried taking out the cmos battery and waiting 30 minutes (+ unplugging graphics card and hardrives, as recommended online). Lastly, my bios flash button isn't lighting up, so I don't think I can properly boot my pc with an updated bios via usb stick (which I tried). Last time this happened my monitor randomly started to work again but now nothing has worked. Should I just go to geeksquad or does anyone have any other ideas to fix it? I've never been unable to fix a troubleshooting issue like this before, I'm completely stumped. Would greatly appreciate any help, thank you.

Please click the link below for your operating system to download the TSG SysInfo Utility. Click on "Save File" then double-click the file to run it. Copy and paste the report in your initial post. Windows 7 and later (downloads a file named tsginfo.exe) | Windows XP (downloads a file named SysInfo.exe)

No, not uncommon at all. When you clear cmos with a modern system, the motherboard will go through several reboots as it relearns ram speed, processor speed/settings, etc. During this process, there is no display as the system is training/learning.
If you do not let the system relearn/retrain and just pw OFF, the process must start all over again. Asus boards are relatively quick in this task; asrock boards can take a LONG time for a first boot after clearning cmos or updating the bios.
