It looks like your power supply or motherboard has died man.
One way to check if the power supply is dead it use a voltmeter
to measure +3.3V(orange wire), +12V (yellow wire), and +5V (red wire).

If the power supply checks out, remove all DIMMs from your motherboard.
Listen for beep code to be emitted from your motherboard. If this does not
happen,
your mother board is dead. Try reseating your CPU. Else, buy another
motherboard.
