The issue lies with the motherboard itself, as it is not functioning properly.

I've been using this motherboard for roughly two years. One day it stopped shutting down completely—even after plugging everything in and holding the power button. Instead of turning off, it kept flashing the power indicator and then stopped responding. When I powered it up, the board lights would flash white before turning off again. The fans started spinning rapidly. I found a video showing what happens when I try to power it with nothing connected except the power supply. The file was larger than 20 MB. I also tested the power supply in another computer to confirm it works. Video Link:
The board receives a sudden surge of power, briefly activating the LEDs before the essential ATX components can signal it to remain off until instructed otherwise. This behavior is typical in many computers and everyday electronics, where a fully assembled unit or a standalone board may operate differently.
The machine was completely put together before it stopped working.
