Update: The PC has powered on, but is stuck in a boot cycle, no display. inconsistency is the bane of my existance

Still nothing after this, though I'll try some different cables soon. tried this, didn't work. I'll get a new CMOS battery, can't hurt to try. At what point do I just buy a new motherboard?

I figured that the power supply would be the issue so I tried using my PSU on the faulty system and that worked. Out of curiosity, I tried the 'faulty' PSU on my system and it powered on. ie and TL:DR, his power supply works on my system and not his, my power supply works on both
