I'd try using one stick of RAM and disconnect any hard drives temporarily.

It's possible the RAM not being on the QVL is an issue.

You could place the motherboard out of the case and place it on a nonconductive surface. Then use a paperclip or screwdriver to bridge the power pins on the motherboard. Doing that would eliminate the computer case as being an issue.

...I tried booting it with the GPU in and out and both resulted in the same thing. The result has not changed at all with all the different attempts made to fix.

When you tried with the GPU out. Do you mean it won't turn on or you can't see anything on the screen? Because I don't think that CPU supports onboard video.

EDIT 3: I also just realized that I am using the same PSU cables for my SATA drives from the old PSU instead of the provided ones. Could that mean anything? I’m not around to test this out right now. I’ll try to test it tomorrow.

Always use the PSU cables that come with the new PSU. The cables can be different and potentially do damage.

Would that make a difference?

No, it shouldn't matter.
