(Reposted,still need help.)

PC powers on but won't display anything on the monitor.

Previously, the 24-pin cable from the power supply to the motherboard was too short, so an extension cable was ordered. Was not the one to order it so I'm not sure if the extension cable was third party or not. 

Previously, the PC would boot into the BIOS however when told to boot to the flash drive with Windows 7 on it, would restart and go back to the BIOS. Same result with flash drive that has Windows 10 on it.

After rewiring everything, the PC doesn't display anything to the monitor when turned on, can't tell if it's booting into the BIOS or not. 

PC restarts on its own every 10 seconds. 

PC is using VGA cable to connect to the monitor. Tried using a graphics card with HDMI, didn't work.

PC does not have a graphics card or HDMI ports.

So far have tried swapping RAM back and forth, inspecting internal cables, and swapping outlets. Had two people who know a thing or two about computers take a look, did not find the cause of the problem.

After rewiring it again, same result.

Can provide more information if necessary.

figure out what Functuin key (F1 or F2 etc) opens your boot bios.

and check if there is a bootable drive

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

We opened the boot bios before rewiring, however wouldn't let us boot to the flash drive we put in. Now, it doesn't read any signal anymore.
