You have an Asus ROG Maximus Hero VIII with active red lights and working buttons, but the Q-code LED remains off and the system doesn't start. It seems unclear whether the motherboard is receiving power. Please let me know if you need urgent assistance.

Additionally, attempt to boot without RAM/SSD/M.2 and check if the Q code displays any output.
