EDIT: ended up being 1 faulty ram stick, 1 (supposedly) bad psu, an overcooked cpu, a dead aio cooler and (potentially) a faulty psu. Thanks Linux bros.
I did the memtest. Figured out 1 out of 4 ram sticks are bad and sent it out on an RMA. Took the whole rig to a local shop and he load tested the PSU. It failed twice. He recommended I replace the PSU then the motherboard if I still had issues. So I replaced the PSU with a new unit, still the exact same issues. So I replaced the motherboard with a used one. Still the exact same issues. I updated the BIOS. Same issues but a new, more red Asus logo (yay).
I still cannot, for the love of AntiChrist, boot the thing. At. All. Not even from a usb. Attempting to fresh install windows and i have zero input from any devices.
I am at my wits end and I need my PC back up and running.
Linux bros blocked immediately.

There is no usb mouse or keyboard that I own (wired or qireless) that is working if i ever make it to a windows installer. As shown in the video.
Have you tried plugging them directly into the USB ports on the PC? I have seen BIOSes that don’t deal well with some USB hubs, and it looks like you’ve got a USB hub integrated with the monitor there.
…yes. since the first attempt over a month ago. Front ports. Motherboard ports. And i never plug a mouse or keyboard into my monitor or other usb hub.
