Problem Summary
My Desktop was working fine. Then, when I switched on my PC after an hour of halt, it won't boot. Initially, it showed me POST screen (Gigabyte logo with options to enter BIOS, Boot menu) with a single beep, then going to Gigabyte Dual Bios screen, then restarting, in a loop. Now, I don't even get the POST Screen.
System Specs
First System - The one with problem
Second System - Works well - For testing components from First System
Description
I was working in my PC yesterday. Then shut it down for an hour or so. When I switched it on again, it showed the BIOS screen, with a single beep showing sign of successful POST, then just went to Gigabyte Dual BIOS screen. Then it restarted and then went to the same screen.
I looked up over the internet and found a similar reddit post and followed accordingly. But that did not help my case. From then onwards, I do not even get the BIOS screen.
Things I tried
Since, the system was working previously with the same PSU, and no components were added, there is no possibility of the power requirement by MoBo not met.
Also, now I notice that the CPU fan turns off two to three seconds after I switch on my PC. (I don't remember this happening with my previous tries, but atleast this did not happen immediately in my previous tries)

Things I tried
■ Swapped the components (RAM, PSU, Graphics Card) with Second PC and the Second PC worked pretty well with these components from first PC. But First PC did not work with the swapped components from Second PC. So I ruled out the possibility that any of these three components might be malfunctioning.
■ Then, removed the RAM and switched on the PC - getting continuous short beeps.
■ Reinserted the RAM, removed the Video card from MoBo, but there is no beep sound
■ Also removed and reinserted the power cables as well - no luck
■ Removed the CMOS battery and reinserted it, as in the reddit post, but that did not help my case. Also, tried resetting the BIOS with a jumper and that too did not work out.
