[SOLVED] 2 Unworking Systems, No Display, Restart, Dell flashing orange

[robobeast]

I was building a system with specs below:

PCPartPicker part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VLwwfH
CPU: Intel - Core i3-8100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For $150.00)
Motherboard: Gigabyte - H310M A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (Came with CPU)
Memory: G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (Purchased For $98.00)
Storage: Crucial - BX500 120 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For $24.00)
Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB Video Card (Purchased For $65.00)
Case: Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case (Purchased For $40.00)
Power Supply: EVGA - BQ 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (Purchased For $50.00)
Total: $427.00

I built it, and put all parts together. When I tried to turn it on for the first time, the power button worked and system turned on, with fans(rear, CPU, and PSU(I think)) turning. A green light on the shady 750Ti(looks legit but I am still suspicious) I bought off Ebay also turned on and was green. On button LED was also on.
However NOTHING was showing on the monitor which has been used recently and turns on and almost for sure works. I did not bother to try a different wire to the GPU or try to connect to the MOBO video output because the pc just restarted itself.
The PC continued to just restart itself with nothing being showed on the display.

I tried to take out the GPU from power and the PCI-E slot and turn on the PC but same result. I also tried taking out one ram from the slots, even switching slots. I also took out the ssd connected. Nothing changed the annoying restart loop.

I stupidly thought that maybe changing the RAM with one I know works and is the speed that the motherboard has on its list, might change the results. So I borrowed 8 gb 2400 MHz from my brother's PC, but it did not change a thing.

So I brought my brothers RAM back to his modified Dell Poweredge T30(specs below) and put the RAM back in. I turned on his PC only to find it was also not displaying anything. The light on the on button was flashing orange. I saw online someone say this means that the motherboard is fried.

I am just looking for insight on what may be my problem for both machines, what parts are affected, and what I should do to fix both. I need this ASAP because my brother wants his PC.

Poweredge Specs:
CPU:Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1225 v5
Motherboard: Dell poweredge mobo
Memory: 8 GB DIMM (ECC)
Storage: Samsung 240 gb ssd + 1 TB Enterprise hard drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC 3GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Case: Dell Poweredge case
Power Supply: EVGA - 600w 80+

The memory from your computer is not compatible with the Dell. It requires ECC memory and your computer is not compatible with ECC memory.

I get that much, but my PC was not displaying before I switched the RAM, but thanks for the advice.

So, what has changed from the last time that your system worked?Have you added any new hardware? According to this:

neither of the PSUs are considered to be any of EVGA's better units.

I got both systems to work. Thanks for trying but it was just loose RAM in both....lol.

I can’t put windows on my new pc though because keyboard and mouse don’t detect when I’m on windows 7 installer.

If your keyboard and mouse are connected via USB, then you need a PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Win7 did not have USB drivers and support included in the install as Win 10 does.
