Perform a visual inspection of the motherboard.
Disconnect all graphics cards if your processor has integrated graphics. Plug in a tested working power supply and reset the motherboard BIOS.
If you look at your motherboard's LGA1155 socket, you can say that it is very old.
If your diagnostics fail, you may have to buy new computer parts.

How will OP reset bios when he got no display? If fan keeps spinning and stopping in seconds then there is no display, it looks like a corrupt BIOS, it seems that motherboard have dual bios so find a way to re activate the back up bios, do a search on youtube about this

It could be the motherboard or anything attached to it. Strip it to the bare minumum,
the PSU, CPU and 1 RAM stick. It should power on without a monitor or boot device.
If that doesn't work try a different PSU, or different RAM stick. If that fails either the
mobo or CPU is the problem.

If you can get it to power up then add components until it fails.

Each motherboard has contacts, when closed for 5 seconds, the bios is reset to factory settings. No monitor is needed for this operation. You can turn the battery upside down and install it in the motherboard for 5 seconds.
But it is best not to engage in repairs without knowledge and experience.

Looks like a faulty motherboard to me, I had a motherboard that behaves in such manner and I used to repair by flashing bios to backup, it has something to do with pressing down power button for few minutes and removing the power plug instantly and reconnect the power plug again, it will trigger flashing the backup bios

I had this problem today. Changed CPU fixed the issue.

Try installing the old processor after cleaning the contacts. These motherboards have similar failures.
I have no idea what needs to be done to spoil the processor, because it has many foolproof protections.
If the processor was not mechanically damaged, then it may be in good working order.

What? Are you saying the motherboard failed to start because of CPU failure? I will definitely go and try this out now because I have a abandoned motherboard that's behaving is same way as OP described, be right back
