EDIT: ended up being 1 faulty ram stick, 1 (supposedly) bad psu, an overcooked cpu, a dead aio cooler and (potentially) a faulty psu. Thanks Linux bros.

I did the memtest. Figured out 1 out of 4 ram sticks are bad and sent it out on an RMA. Took the whole rig to a local shop and he load tested the PSU. It failed twice. He recommended I replace the PSU then the motherboard if I still had issues. So I replaced the PSU with a new unit, still the exact same issues. So I replaced the motherboard with a used one. Still the exact same issues. I updated the BIOS. Same issues but a new, more red Asus logo (yay).

I still cannot, for the love of AntiChrist, boot the thing. At. All. Not even from a usb. Attempting to fresh install windows and i have zero input from any devices.

I am at my wits end and I need my PC back up and running.

Linux bros blocked immediately.

    I think it’s most likely a Windows issue based on what was presented, but it’s good to make sure the hardware is OK. It costs nothing but a little time.
