Stuck on Boot Loop on Gigabyte Board

[egonnelly]

Hello Everybody, I tried to install Windows 10 off a USB that had the bootable installer from the official Microsoft website. I plugged the USB in, booted off it, and it started. It stayed on the windows 10 logo for a bit and then blue screened, but immediately shut off. Whenever I try to turn on my pc, it stays in a boot loop until I unplug the PSU. I was able to get in bios and boot of a Hard Drive with no os just fine before I tried to install it, but now it doesn't even show a screen. Sometimes it starts the bios saying the UEFI dual bios on the top, but it only shows that and then reboots. I've unplugged everything exept the psu and cpu, and the Speaker keeps beeping. Not a long beep, constant short beeps. I then tried to put in a single ram in slot 1, and it constantly reboots now. I kept doing this with module 1 and 2 and all 4 slots. I'm using a kinda sketchy psu cable, so it is possible that that fried the PSU. I Also tried different CPUs, but with no luck. I also applied new thermal paste with both CPUs. The specs of my pc are listed below.

Intel i5 3570K (No oc)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 448 cores
8gb ddr3 1666mhz ram (2 modules)
500w psu (Can't remember name)
Gigabyte GA Z77P D3

I tried putting it on cardboard, disconnecting reset switch and power switch, and disconnecting CD Drives. And again, I didn't overclock and I can't get into the BIOS. I also forgot to add that I reset the CMOS with both the battery and jumpers.

I also don't have more computer parts or money saved to buy more parts unless it's a few parts

Sounds like the MB is gone, but it could also be the PSU depending on what it is.

I would replace both from what you said about the PSU.

It could be as I got it used, but then why did it work before I tried to install windows? I'd say (With small knowledge about coding) that windows wrote something to the bios or Mastet boot record (again, I don't know alot about those) that made it error or reboot. Also, when the pc shuts down, I hear the PC Speaker trying to say something.

Unplug the HD from the MB and see if you can get into the bios.

If it works then plug the HD back in again and boot from the Windows USB drive and wipe the HD clean and reinstall Windows.

Push F12 on boot to bring up the boot menu.

Hardware issue then, remove everything except the CPU and one stick of Ram.

Plug the Monitor into the onboard graphics and see if it will boot.

I tried that already, and the pc speaker kept doing short beeps until I turned it off, and no display showed up.

Your MB is gone then, replace that and the PSU.

DO NOT use the current PSU with the new MB.

LGA 1155 MB's are still around and get a good PSU.

Alright, I tried to turn it on again and it seems to be restarting every 1-30 seconds. One time it tried to load the bios but then it restarted.

Switch the ram sticks out.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from egonnelly : "Possible to boot when on boot loop?"

My PC is stuck on a boot loop where it will restart before I can get into the bios. I've reset the CMOS and did all possible things to fix this becides booting from a CD or USB drive. If I can't even get past the bios, is it possible to boot from CD or USB?

if its restarting before it gets to bios, its going to be a hardware problem.

what are specs of pc?

have you tried a bare bones startup? remove any extra USB devices, speakers, external hdd, etc. Take out gpu if motherboard has integrated graphics.
