So I have finally given up troubleshooting and hopefully you guys can share your knowledge with me. Heres the part list:
CPU: Intel i5 7500
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8gb DDR4 @ 2400
Mobo: ASUS B360M-A
GPU: Nvidia 1050ti
PSU: Evga 600B bronze rated
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo m.2

So we started the day by putting everything, with the exception of the SSD, on the Mobo and used the case power button to turn it on. Except it only spun the fans for a brief second and turned off. So after some quick troubleshooting, I had thought the PSU was dead because the Mobo LED was not turning on when we flipped the PSU switch. So we returned the PSU, which was a Corsair cx650m, for an EVGA 600B. This time we took the Mobo out of the case and set it on the mobo box to breadboard it. We hooked up the PSU to the board, used a staple to short the power button pins, and same thing happened. LED was still not on and the fans spun for a split second then lost power. I swapped RAM slots and tried a know good stick of RAM. Still nothing. So I determined the Mobo was bad. So I swapped out the Gigabyte H370m d3h for the current ASUS one. Reconnected everything, and still the same thing. We then tried starting it after disconnecting the CPU power cable, in which it stayed powered on, but no video. So after that, we determined that the CPU was bad then. Returned it, got the same model again. Plugged everything back in and same result. I really don't understand how we replaced all parts needed to POST, and it still will not POST. I did buy a speaker for it and have heard no beeps the entire time. Even used an old PCI POST card that I had. Pls send help.

Are you sure that this CPU is on the motherboards supported CPU list?

8th Generation Intel® Core™ Desktop Processors continue to use an LGA1151 socket. However, they require motherboards based on the new Intel® 300 Series Chipset, such as the Intel® Z370 Chipset. These processors are not backward compatible with motherboards based on Intel® 200 Series Chipset and Intel® 100 Series Chipset.

Similarly, 7th and 6th Generation Intel Core Desktop Processors are not compatible with the new Intel® 300 Series Chipset motherboards, such as the Intel® Z370 Chipset..
