My PC is not working

[PhyZyx24]

My computer starts acting weird again. I tried removing parts one by one to know the root of the problem until im down with only one stick of ram, no gpu, no hdd, no dvd rw. But still, it turns on for about 10 secs and turns off automatically then turns on again and turns off again. No display in monitor, its just black. I wonder what part of my computer is damaged. Is it the psu/cpu/motherboard/ram? 

Wish you guys can help me. Thanks in advance!   

Specs:
Intel Core i3-4160
Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H
Apotop 2x4Gb 1600Mhz
Toshiba DT01aca100 1Tb
Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual
Corsair VS450

I have a similar build!  If you plug your display into the motherboard, with the GPU removed, you still encounter this issue? Can you access the UEFI BIOS?

That's also my first thought, to access the bios but unfortunately, I can't access it. I can't go into bios. No display on screen also.

sounds like the cpu isnt seated properly? i had this issue when i was changing my cpu cooler. wasnt seated properly, i tried pressing down on the cpu with my hand and it booted up correctly. it got really hot really fast though. might wanna check without your cooler. check your pins on the board as well. it could be either the cpu or the psu.

I've checked the all the pins on my motherboard so it shouldn't be it.
Should i try to remove the cpu and re-seat it in the socket? 

Update: Done reseating the cpu and heatsink. No progress.

sounds like it could be the mb or a psu problem. you could test the board by booting with only the cpu, without ram, it should beep to indicate no ram detected, but if it doesnt beep it could be that the board is faulty, but then again, if it reboots even before beeping, it could be the psu. i would recommend testing with another psu first.

Tried booting up my pc without ram just like what you've said. I'm too close to my pc and I didn't hear any beep whatsoever. Maybe its my mb that's at fault.

Sadly, I don't have spare parts to justify that my mb is faulty and I dont want to buy parts that i'm not sure would fix my problem. I don't have stack of cash to spare.

If my motherboard doesnt beep when booting it without ram, can i easily conclude that my motherboard is the source of my problem and should change it so my problem will be fix?

PSU should be "dead". Had the same behavior on different machines where the PSU was dying. Power on, a few seconds without post power off, then power on, off rinse and repeat. 

 

If you can grab another PSU for testing, e.g. from a friend you can single that out.

Now I'm confused what should I do. I guess I'll try to change psu first as motherboard will cost me more. Thanks for your answers

I've just brought my pc to a tech to troubleshoot my pc properly. He said that the board is broken. And power supply doesnt have any correlation with my problem. Unfortunately, he doesnt have 1150 board to test if my board was the real cause.
