initially the motherboard lights didn't activate, fans started spinning when I powered on the PC. The yellow indicator light on the motherboard turned off after I tried to turn it back on. This repeated when I changed the RAM slot and re-seated it in the same position. Plugging in the HDMI cable also failed—first it went into the GPU port, then I had to reset BIOS, but nothing worked. No POST messages appeared at all.

You’d need to begin checking each component, which means replacing parts in and out of your setup to identify the issue.
