dishsoapmy computer doesn't start, the fans start spinning and the lights come on but after a few seconds it restarts and just keeps doing that
My computer did something similar when my power supply started going bad. You'd need a multimeter to actually test how much it's putting out tho.

Randomly shutting off could mean a few different things. Here are some suggestions to get you started that *aren't* specifically related to part failure.
A. You've plugged something in incorrectly and something is shorting out and automatically turning off the power or there simply isn't enough juice to start with - check that all of your connections are in the proper place and that everything is facing the correct direction and in the proper orientation - and that *all* requisite connections from the PSU to the MOBO are in place. This may require looking at the MOBOs directions and checking connections with your hand, and making sure you didn't plug anything in backwards.
B. The outlet, power strip, or even the power cable going to your PSU that you're plugged into is fucked up (try other outlets and cords) and can't handle passing the requisite number of volts, so the computer shuts off when it doesn't get enough juice. Just try a different outlet or a different room and/or a different cable if you have one.
C. The CPU or GPU's cooling set up is FUBAR and causes the whole thing to automatically shut down to not burst into flames. This is harder to check, as long as you didn't pour tons of thermal paste on when you mounted the CPU or didn't put any on at all, you should be OK.
D. You're grounding out the MOBO as the fans and etc shake the mobo/case, the motherboard is grounding itself to something metallic and cutting the power. Make sure you've used the standoffs correctly and that you didn't put one in and forget about it (that would now touch the mobo sometimes and cause it to shut off). I would save this one for next to last or last as it would require dismounting the MOBO to check for metal bits - unless you didn't use the standoffs at all... then that's your answer pry.
E. Make sure the GPU is plugged into the right PCIe slot. This is easy to check.
If I had to guess it's that some cable from the PSU to the MOBO isn't seated correctly or at all, or you put in a stand off and forgot about it and now it's touching the MOBO and shutting down the works.
Start with the easiest stuff first :D

check the ram might not be in all the way(they are pretty hard to push in)

nothing i tried had worked, i took a good look at the motherboard and saw this:

it dont look good to me

I don't really see anything in that video - the reflection of the conformal coating... the solder from the machine?

idk anything about motherboards so im just guessing to what the problem could be, i tried everything you posted above but the same thing continues to happen.

Does it boot without the GPU or with a different one?
Did it boot outside of the case? If you didn't try that why not? Always do that to check for DOA parts.
What is the second video supposed to show?
EDIT: Just in case you were still having a good day: The timing and the GPU fans turning off first suggest that your GPU is failing the self test.
