Time for a new motherboard? PC gets stuck on MSI logo on boot and I’ve tried everything I can find

Tried to turn on EXPO/update drivers on my MSI B650 gaming w/ wifi and I think I shorted something, as my pc wont load past the MSI loading screen now. I’ve done everything I can think of including
-Reset CMOS multiple times
-Reset the board to default in BIOS
-Reverted to a previous Windows state
-Uninstalled most recent Windows update
-Ran Windows in safe mode
-Have windows reinstall itself
-Uninstalled Windows all together and reinstalled it

The only question I’ve answered so far seems to be not to update BIOS unless I have to. I’ve been able to get through to Windows a few times but it’s not replicate-able whenever it resets it goes back to getting stuck on the MSI screen. Any suggestions or do I need a new board? This is my first PC I built \~2 years ago and I haven’t any any known issues till now
