I am going to be brief here. So I got my Atmega328p microcontroller from Arduino Uno(I pulled it out of the board). And then I bought my USBASP programmer chip to program my MCU. I properly installed its x64 drivers. Then I made my program to turn an LED on. It got compiled successfully and generated the hex file nicely.

Here is the atmega328p datasheet
BUT! when I try to program my MCU it gives an error like this:-

ERROR LOG:-

avrdude -p atmega328p -P usb -c usbasp -U flash:w:LEDON.hex

avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.


avrdude done. Thank you.

make.exe: *** [program] Error 1

Then I try to program it using the -F parameter to know the problem more deeply, and I get this error:-

avrdude: error: programm enable: target doesn't answer. 1
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
avrdude: AVR device initialized and ready to accept instructions
avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000
avrdude: Yikes! Invalid device signature.
avrdude: Expected signature for ATMEGA328P is 1E 95 0F
avrdude: NOTE: FLASH memory has been specified, an erase cycle will be performed
To disable this feature, specify the -D option.
avrdude done. Thank you.

I have tried everything, but nothing is working. I am using WinAVR on Windows 10 x64 OS. I can put the code if you guys want. Also I have double checked my MOSI, MISO, SCK, RST, Vcc and GND connections. They are perfectly fine.
