Here are a few possible explanations for the issue:
The system may be overheating due to insufficient cooling, possibly from the VRM or heatsinks not functioning properly. The GPU might be failing under load, which could cause the fans to spin but not provide clear visual feedback.

Next steps:
- Verify the temperature of the VRM and heatsinks with a thermal monitor.
- Check for proper fan operation by listening for distinct fan noises or using software diagnostics.
- Ensure the power button is correctly connected and powered.
- If the GPU still doesn’t work, consider testing it in another system to rule out hardware failure.

Based on the hardware age, I think it’s likely an old or refurbished setup, possibly bought from a used source. Confirm BIOS is set to F1 and verify all connections—especially the cooler and monitor linking to the GPU. Make sure everything is securely plugged in. For troubleshooting, try testing RAM on another system or swapping in different RAM modules, as these methods usually don’t apply here due to hardware limitations.
