Problem with computer repair, no fresh solutions coming.
I recently started a small business in computer and electronic repair, but the computer I’m working on currently has stumped me, it was running perfectly fine until someone swapped the power supply in it, and then it suddenly started constantly boot looping, I replaced the power supply, motherboard, ram, cpu, and even tested different ram sticks, and gpu’s I had lying around, at this point the only thing I haven’t tried is taking the parts and putting them in a different case, the pc no longer boot loops but will now restart three times, turn on a fourth time, but that’s it, no display, no beeping, nothing. I am at a loss on this one and have already had my client waiting for so long and the parts keep racking up the bill, does anyone have any suggestions or should I just call this one a loss and buy a new rig save for the pieces I already have.?
The pc specs are
I5 6500 cpu, gtx 1650, thermaltake 500wpsu, 16gb of ram
What motherboard is it, does it have video ports? Try no graphics card and disconnect any and all storage drives.
The motherboard was an asrock170, but I opted for a generic one from Amazon. The winning LGA1151 board had a brand name, which was beyond my budget. I attempted to remove everything from the board—drives, GPU, even single RAM in both slots—and swapped between different sticks. My idea was to flash the BIOS via USB to resolve the problem, but the generic board complicates choosing the correct BIOS files.
Do you have a connection to this Bewinner lga1151 board? For instance, this product
https://www.amazon.com.be/-/en/Bewinner-...B0CFYGH14W
shows support for 8th/9th gen and Ivy Bridge, though the Ivy Bridge socket is actually 1155. It seems like a lot of incorrect information. I'm curious to know what this board actually claims to support and how it functions in reality. When a client changed their power supplies, was the original PSU semi or fully modular? If that was the case, would they replace the cables—otherwise it could lead to a bad outcome if not done correctly? This would help clarify the situation and guide future decisions. What were the original components? A lot of parts have been swapped, making it difficult to understand what's happening.
I believe it's a well-known brand like Asus, Asrock, or Gigabyte.
This could assist in locating a board if you manage to purchase from Newegg. It also serves as a reference for broader searches. I've narrowed it down to include 100 and 200 series, along with various chipsets from Asus Asrock Msi and Gigabyte.

I still want to understand what happened. They changed psu, but I'm not sure how that was done or what else they did. It looks like they didn't share the full story. If something is more complicated than it should be, there might be other issues involved.
