Older Pc looping without posting

Hello, I have an older custom pc that I can't seem to fix.
 

Specs generally as follows:

 

i7 920 w/ hyper 212

asus x58 mobo

8gb ddr3 2x4 from corsair

asus gtx 760 2gb

800 watt corsair psu

 

I apologize for not knowing the exact parts, it's not my own pc.

 

Anyway, it's looping at the start, everything spins up but i get no video output whatsoever

 

Tried switching psu, ram, and gpu with no luck. I'm suspecting the memory controller might have given up on life.

It think it may be its time.

It  (Probably) has lasted you well.

Try dusting the insides. Happened to me twice on different computers where it would just go into an infinite reboot cycle which was solved using a can of compressed air.

You could just need to do some maintenance (clean) but I would also guess it is quite old so it could be dead in general.
