Getting a boot loop before bios. This motherboard has ez debug leds on the motherboard itself. It will run through cpu,ram,vga,boot. In that order. It runs through all of them just fine but once it flashes boot the pc shuts off immediately and a couple seconds later will restart but continues in the same loop.

Current tries, swapping ram, removing ram. I don’t think this is the issue as the motherboard will make it past the ram test, without the ram it fails the test.

Unplugged all drives and peripherals, even boot drive. Still no post or bios.

cleared cmos by battery removal and shorting pins. That got me nowhere.

I’m 90% sure it’s a bios issue as when this happened I had enabled fast boot, and enabled secure boot. But I can’t seem to even get the pc to boot into bios before it shuts itself down and restarts.

Any help is appreciated. All of this just to play urf 😢

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. If you can recall, what BIOS version were you on for your motherboard?

Ideally, you clear the CMOS liek so:
disconnect from the wall and display, remove the CMOS battery, press and hold down the power button for 30secs to drain any residual power, then reseat the battery after 30mins.

Remove the discrete GPU from your build and you should get display off the iGPU but you will need to hook the monitor to your motherboard's display output ports. If the system POSTS without a discrete GPU, then your PSU is unable to deliver power to your system when a discrete GPU is in the system or GPU is faulty/failing.

If the GPU works in a donor system, then you've narrowed one part off your troubleshooting checklist.
