PSU & MOBO Compatibility Issue

I am facing first ever problem in my life.

 

PSU & MOBO compatibility Issue.

 

So, when I connected PSU A with MOBO A, It turned on then turned off within .5 sec

 

I decided to figure out which parts is malfunctioning, and tried connecting these parts with different PSU and MOBO

(PSU B and MOBO B which worked fine with each other)

 

when I connected PSU B with MOBO A, It worked fine; so I suspected, of course, that PSU A is broken.

 

Still, I tried connecting PSU A with MOBO B, and, surprisingly, it worked fine.

 

Why would PSU A work with all other MOBO (it was tested with other MOBOs I heard), but not on my MOBO A.

 

Why would MOBO A work with all other PSU but not with MY PSU A?

 

 

I'm baffled right now.. and seems can't figure out what really is the problem.

 

anyone experienced similar situation?
