My boyfriend had issues with this pc and jsut bought another, letting this one sit for two years. He took the hdd and gave it to me with its original parts:

Upon receiving it, he informed me it had power issues. That's it. I wiggled a cord and it worked. Come to find out what's wrong is it will sometimes boot and sometimes not, and when it doesn't it doesn't for days and has to be 100% drained of life to finally start again. I dealth with it off and on for a few months.
My brother sent me a corsair 750 psu and some fans to try. I bought a new hdd and ssd, my ssd having my windows on it, I swapped the bios battery. It still didn't work.
This week I caved and replaced the mobo and cpu. I installed the AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6-CORE and ASUS ROG STRIX B450 F successfully today. It still does the same thing. Does not boot.
I tried a different monitor to make sure it wasn't the display. When the pc turns on and the keyboard lights up, the display also is back-lit accordingly.
I'm feeling hopeless at this point, because I don't know why it won't boot and atleast give me BIOS or Win10 or anything. Not even errors. Tried removing ram I just bought (had to change from ddr3 to ddr4 with mobo) tried just one stick or moving the sticks location. Ive tried removing the battery while unplugged and pressing the power over and over. I tried the old psu again incase the new one had an issue. Reset all my cables. Even the light on the mobo is the one for boot issues, but the troubleshooting recommended in the manual didn't help.
Any suggestions would be great tbh.
