You shouldn't try running with no memory as it won't post.

If it was me I would remove the Mobo, set it on the box it came in, never on the anti-static bag as this is a no no. After setting it on the box carefully remove the CPU and inspect both socket and cpu, reset making sure it's perfectly seated correctly.

One ram stick in A1 and the IGPU . Also try with nothing but monitor connected, no mouse or keyboard and see if see will post.

Then try each stick, then switch to B1 and try each stick, try different video I/O ports, if your monitor has them, DVI, HDMI. I have new PSU and ram, so if I have a problem I can try new hardware that I know works to see which one is the problem.

It does sound like a video problem, as you see debug codes, or memory, as debug calls memory.

Once I tried a new PSU, and the memory was on the QVL, and tried each stick in both slots, then it would be a return to purchase or ASrock RMA. In your case I think the PSU is ok, so it's left to memory or video.

Sorry it's not much help.

So far, only one ASrock out of 5,6,7,8,9,100 series never posted and it was the memory, and it was on the QVL, but after trying each stick I got it to post, flashed UEFI to newest and it was ok.

I would remove cpu and check socket. If all is well reseat cpu and try again. Take a good look at the pins in the socket to make sure all is well. Best of luck.

Dear Artuero,
I am ASRock TSD Danny.

The debug code “53” should be related to memory detection.
Because memory controller is inside CPU, we would like to suggest you re-install CPU and make sure CPU socket is fine.

If the symptom still exists, please try the following ways for verify.
1. Please only install necessary device (CPU,one stick memory) to check if the system can boot successfully.
If system is able to boot up, please update the latest BIOS for double-check.
2. Please change the memory to other slot by turns to try.
3. Please switch BIOS chip to another BIOS chip for try, please refer to user manual(Page 28).

4.If possible, please try other memory and CPU for verify.
5.If possible, please test your memory module or CPU on another system to check if they’re working well.

Have a great day !
