As the title says, all components work. So i am wondering what are the causes. Could this have to do with the motherboard bios no supporting the cpu cuz its outdated?

Here is the component list:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H61M-S2PV
GPU: RX 570 4gb
PSU: Fractal Design Ion Gold 550W - Gold, ATX
RAM: 16gb ddr3 ram
case: CiT Level 1 Micro-ATX PC Gaming Case M/ATX

The lights and fans spinning does not mean the PC is working. It just checks the +5v and +12v. Do you have onboard video to eliminate the GPU? Maybe the power supply is failing. So, all components are not working.

Something failed. Check all your connections, cables. Maybe Motherboards or CPU. So you are running single channel mode, DDR3? Check the RAM chip .Motherboard dies more often than the CPU's Unfortunately, not having expensive test equipment, we shotgun troubleshoot PC's and use the knowledge from doing this stuff for more than 25 years.

ddr3 ram, motherboard and cpu were all recently bought from reputable sellers.

Something to consider, The parts are at least10 years old. last BIOS update 2014. No upgrade path or OS upgrade from Win10. Which, will be unsupported a year from now. Don't expect a miracle.

honestly unsupported windows 10 is very unfortunate. but i still need the computer working since i dont have the money for new parts...
