Computer stuck in power cycle

[Charix]

Basically, my house had a power outage, and my computer turned off while on heavy CPU load (3D rendering in C4D). Once I got my power back, I am now stuck in an infinite power cycle. When I turn on the PSU and press the power button, the fans spin for around 1 second, then slow down and stop. This keeps repeating until I turn off the PSU. Any suggestions?

Something might have shorted out. Try reseating all the components in the PC and power cycle the power supply

reset your bios, reseat everything, and try again.

 

beyond that, i blame the green label corsair CX

 

EDIT: i'll rephrase, whatever is the culprit here, if it's hardware, i suggest starting at the power supply either way because it's honesty terrible.

I did try the paperclip test and the fan on the PSU DID spin for what that's worth.

 

Okay, here's an update. Basically, I breadboarded the system to see if it would boot then. It was still stuck in the power cycle. Then, I tried booting the system with no ram and I got 3 beeps, which is base 64k memory failure. 

 

So, I bought a new motherboard to test my components on (ASRock a88m-g/3.1) and I am not able to turn the Mobo on at all. Whenever I hook the power lead up to my Mobo and try to press the button, nothing powers up. No fans spin. Same for when I try to use a screwdriver to jump the power. 

 

Anyway, anyone have a clue what to do here?

 

EDIT: and yes I did try reseating everything before I breadboarded the system.
