Troubleshooting • Pi 5 Boot confusion

I need help with booting my Raspberry Pi 5. I cant get it to boot. here's what i've tried:

Different SDs card 2x (32gb, 256gb)
New OS (64-bit, 32-bit, Home Assistant, Game Emulator)
Updated bootloader successfully (saw the green screen)
Tried booting from Harddrive, same issue
Bought a new RBP5
Different Extender card
Removed the case
Removed the Active Cooler Cable
Removed the Active Cooler Component
Tried different SD card reader (on my mac)
Re-downloaded Imager 1.9.4
Cleared download cache
Replaced Power Supply
Swapped HDMI cable
No HDMI at all + w/ HDMI (2x)

Thanks in advance ! Pulling my hair out with confusion ? Should I perhaps just - stop - computing??
