I have this spare be quiet PSU on a whopping low 350W but it's for a media center but for some reason it doesn't power on when I press the start button only when I short the 24pin connector

Seems like a defective motherboard.

Having 3 broken motherboard that are only broken with a select PSU sounds unbelievable imo

Well, you didn't say you tried three motherboards that all work with a different PSU.

Is the PSU modular?  If it is,  you're not using the wrong cables for it, are you?
