Hey there hohman! sorry to hear that. which lights are on on the MB? Some of those lights might be a clue as to what is wrong....i.e. debug leds.....

Make sure you have good contacts in both 24 pin ATX and 8 pin ATX power connectors. Maybe reseat CPU?

No sign of damage to board? smell of burning etc? You might have to take the MB out of the case and swap out any components you can, like GPU if you have an old spare one etc.

Remove all your hardware, including the PSU connectors, CPU and battery and do a clear CMOS. Then leave for an hour or two.

Fit only CPU, VGA one stick of ram and of course keyboard and mouse.

Pay close attention to the power connectors when you reseat them. Check for the little metal pins inside them being seated correctly.

Post to BIOS and set your ram voltages and timings.
