Not sure whether it's Psu issue. The motherboard LED lights are lit when the power is on.. Any experience bros can advise.

Psu fan not spinning

does sound like a psu issue, though be sure to disable any semi passive mode before powering on. can also do the paperclip test to be extra sure.
Just did the paperclip test. Psu is working.

Removed my 4 sticks of ram and insert 1 by 1 in. Removed my Nvme as well. All unable to boot. Seems like it's motherboard liao...

Have you take out the CMOS battery and try again?
Have you tried using onboard graphics only for Intel.
Maybe motherboard so if under warranty you can bring to distro to check.

Took out. Nothing changed when I pressed button.

No graphics card. Mine is on board.

No warranty. Just over by 3 months...
:cry: Asus. 3 years + 3 months RIP. Planning to get a replacement MSI...

Now my dilemma is to decide whether it is motherboard or CPU failure.

Any bros kena CPU failure before?

CPU rarely spoil except for AMD Ryzen.
I do encounter faulty AMD Ryzen before but even with a faulty CPU it will still boot.
Which generation is this CPU? Intel 8/9th gen?

For my desktop, it's the ON/OFF switch causing it unable to power on, you can try short your motherboard ON/OFF pin to see if same problem as mine...until I buy another casing, I set the BIOS setting to power on automatically (casing switch still connected to motherboard ON/OFF pin) whenever I turn on power plug

Try with a working power supply unit?
If no spare, bring rig to Nigel at PC Care and Solution @SLS.
