I've been using my gaming PC for about five years without any issues, but today when I tried to power it on, the CPU fans spin for a moment before stopping, then it restarts after about 10 seconds. There's no boot display, and I haven't changed anything in my setup recently. I've already tried removing the GPU and also tested each RAM stick separately, but nothing seems to work.

This could be a power supply issue, especially if you're using a lower-end model. Have you checked yours?
It sounds like your CMOS battery might have died. Maybe give it a shot at replacing it.
Just so you know, the system usually should still POST without a CMOS battery, though you might get a warning.
I actually have a Corsair 650W Bronze, so hopefully it's not that.
