System specifications
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700x
GPU: Rtx 3070
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AC
Memory: Corsair Vengence 16Gb 3600mHz
Power Supply: EVGA 750GQ
I opted to upgrade the BIOS to the latest release and subsequently attempted performance enhancements using PBO and Ryzen Master auto OC. I achieved a clock speed of around 4.3GHz with maximum performance near 48 degrees. After adjusting BIOS settings manually, I exited and the PC remained inactive—only the VGA LED illuminated. I then restarted, but this time the CPU LED lit up instead.

After another attempt to power off the system, I found the power button wouldn’t shut down the PC. When I flipped the surge protector switch, it worked. I explored various troubleshooting steps: clearing CMOS, removing the battery, booting with a single RAM stick, etc. Despite these efforts, nothing functioned properly; the CPU red LED stayed on and the power switch didn’t turn off the PC but instead powered it on. Is this a permanent issue?

Did you revert any original character modifications in the BIOS to check for recovery? If successful, it suggests a setting was set too high.

Clear the CMOS with a jumper
Refresh the BIOS using q-flash plus

The issue arose when I modified the motherboard after exiting the BIOS, but I couldn’t retrieve any data from my PC. If I had access to the BIOS, I would have been able to proceed.

I've already attempted to reset the CMOS in various ways, but it didn't help. I even removed the battery.

Typically Q-Flash is performed using USB booting (or it has done so before), making it a reliable method.
