Just tested with another one, still same problem. Also tried with my new PSU in another rig and it works... So, very weird, 2 mobos not working or could it be that my cpu is damaged?
Ok so is this right:
- You tested the new PSU with your new motherboard, it worked, then didin't.
- You tested the new PSU with a different motherboard inside your computer. (Please confirm that you didn't change any other components besides PSU and motherboard).
- You TRANSPLANTED the PSU from your normal rig into another computer and it worked. Right?
This is looking less likely to be the PSU or motherboard. It first sounded like a bad 'motherboard-good signal' that turns the PSU on. This is controlled on the motherboard. But since you've tried several and it does the same thing, its unlikely.
The fact that the PSU works in a different computer fine indicates that it is fine too.
I would point your attention to grounding issues, damaged USB ports etc not in the motherboard, but in your case. Taking the issue back to root cause, (half split method), means that the issue probably relates to your case - as it has been the only thing that has remained common throughout; and hasn't been tested or looked at.
If you've bench tested it then yeah, you're down close to thinking CPU.
Please check no socket pins are bent.
