If you left the front panel cables plugged in, that's fine. I ask only because I was once completely stumped on why I couldn't get a PC to boot until realizing that I was mashing a disconnected power cable, and I don't want you RMAing a motherboard on that lol.

Sorry to waste anymore time since you already helped so much but I should I go and get a replacement for my mobo? I don't want to end up wasting time like I did getting a new psu x.x

So you press the power button/jump the pins to start the PC and absolutely nothing happens? It doesn't even try to power on? See, to me, that really screams power supply, but if you've tested it on two different PSUs and done the single stick of RAM method with no results, then yeah, I'd be thinking about RMAing the motherboard, or just buying a new one if the price is right and you don't feel like mailing it back to the OEM.

not sure you saw my question, are there any of the motherboard LEDs that are light up when the PSU is connected (all modern motherboards have some sort of LED that lights up when it gets power). If you don't see any lights chances are the either PSU or the motherboard is faulty.

Not on my brand new ASrock z170 ac/itx... no LEDs at all... that's how I like it BTW

@OP what kind of temps were you experiencing when the PC turns itself off? and I know that's not the problem now, but when you changed the PSU did you take the front panel connectors out and put them back in with the new PSU? or did you just leave everything as it was and swapped the PSU and PSU cables out for the new one?

Ok I shal get it replaced then and report back if that fixed the issue. I'd buy a new if I had the money but I also haven't had this mob for even a year :l

Ahh ok, it was just something to check is all. A wrongly installed power button can make it not boot at all/ boot loop... boot loop in the sense that it turns on for a few seconds and resets.

So you're RMA'ing the board now?
