I mistakenly altered the CMOS battery while the PC was active. I understand it’s not recommended, but can you try restoring it to its original state or check if there’s a way to boot normally? It seems like the system might be damaged beyond repair. The model is an Asus P5QL Pro ATX.

It's possible the BIOS became damaged, as it depends on the CMOS battery to keep timing stable. Modern PCs usually have protections against this. If needed, you can attempt a repair using Asus's CrashFree BIOS 3. If that doesn't work, consider using a physical BIOS flasher at https://tomvanveen.eu/flashing-bios-chip-arduino/
