And a known working PSU did not resolve the problem - correct?

CPU problem or motherboard power to the CPU problem.

You must very carefully troubleshoot each component by installing replacing with working components or installing any given component from your computer into a known working computer.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition.

What did you do when you cleaned the GPU and RAM?
Pc specs
Pro: core i5 9400f
GPU: Zotac gtx 1660
MB: MSI H310 PRO VDH
8gb 2666mhz ram
128gb ssd, 500gb hdd
Corsair Hx650 WATTS 80+ GOLD psu

I've installed windows 10 pro, and I cleaned GPU AND RAM pins with just eraser, pc was just 9-10months old

Paper clip test is only a very basic test.

PSU could be an issue.

Do you have a multimeter and know how to use it? Or know someone who does?

Do you have another known working PSU that you could swap in?
yes I have a friend who knows how to use multimeter, No i dont have any psu right now but tomorrow i will bring psu from my friend.
So it maybe psu problem not motherboard?

The symptoms suggest a PSU problem.

Overall, the objective is to prove or disprove that the PSU is the problem.

The next potential culprit could be the CPU - thermal shutdown perhaps. CPU may need to be pulled and new thermal paste applied.
Ok i will test it with another psu and then i will apply thermal on cpu, thanks for your replies :)

No 3.3 volt or 12 volt measurements?

If the multimeter testing was done correctly and the measured voltages are accurate then the PSU has failed.

Two possibilities come to mind:

1) When plugged in the CPU gets power and immediately overheats and goes into thermal shutdown.

2) When plugged in the CPU connector is creating a short circuit somewhere.

Did you use the cables that came with the new PSU? What make and model PSU?

Does the following link present the User Manual for your motherboard?

https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1654569/Msi-H310m-Pro-Vh.html#manual

[Verify to be sure.]

Check the EZ Debug LEDs; Reference physically numbered Page 17. LED status?

Are you able to access BIOS; Reference physically numbered Page 18.

Read the applicable language pages (English = 1 - 20) to doublecheck all motherboard components, card and RAM seatings, cable connections and jumpers.

I
Are you swapping/removing components with live power to the computer?

Do not do that.

Try a new CMOS battery.
I've tried with new CMOS battery, same thing happens, First time when I press case power button nothing happens , Then I remove CMOS battery(new) and after 3 4 mints when I press power button fans spins for half a second includig CPU fan and then shut down, only one time fan spins , second time nothing happens like there is no power.
Edit: I've noticed one more thing , when I press power button fan spins for a second and EZ dubug led indicates CPU
