    What I have checked

    BIOS battery
    CPU
    GPU
    RAM
    HARD DRIVE
    Powersuply

    I have spair everything and no replacement parts let it post even to bios just green and orange flashing plot light .

    The system was working fine before all this .

    Green and Orange flashing after a GPU benchmark, I would say it is the GPU failing. If you have switchable graphics, remove the GPU and see if the system boots.

    In my case the audiochip fried, in your case likely something around the MXM port power delivery.

    If the GPU is ok then most probably as @Danishblunt said, could be the MXM port or something related to GPU circuitry on the Mainboard.
