[Update] Computer freezes mid-game and makes loud scratching noise, what is failing?

Original post: http://ift.tt/2sgalLF

After exchanging both the ram with and cpu with different (working) replacements, I have come to realize this isn't a CPU/GPU/RAM issue. Now I'm at a loss.

Still having the same issue of starting the computer (fans, lights and all) just to not have it display whatsoever. Thest code is "53" which evga states is a memory failure (where the mobo can't identify the memory). Now I'm thinking it's a possible motherboard issue? Only other things I could think of we're my hard drives or PSU...

If anyone can help me out that would be great. I spent over $1k on this computer in the last year....(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻)
