The green light suggests the system is receiving power. However, it might still be a faulty board. If you managed to swap out the CPU, GPU, and RAM, assume you have another unit available. Test the configuration on that alternative board if possible. Otherwise, attempt to boot the PC with only one RAM stick installed in each slot, repeating the process for both slots. If replacing any component doesn't resolve the issue, it could indicate a dead board. Check if the board has a BIOS flash button—it might point to a corrupted BIOS or a permanently damaged board.

Start by updating this component. It can't handle a faulty power supply properly. Because of its poor build and old design, it doesn't meet the needs of your setup.

1) All the rams in each port failed.
2) I attempted to use Flashback BIOS but it didn’t help.
3) The motherboard is covered under warranty, so I’ll contact support for further assistance if there are no more options left.

It helped me for over five years, but I’ll use that lesson and look for ways to cut costs later.

I kept trying different GPUs, finally using an older GTX 970 that worked again. Restored BIOS settings and after a fresh Windows setup it ran smoothly. I still don’t understand what went wrong, but I’m happy with the results.
