An update: I tried another PSU and this one works! The fans start spinning (CPU and GPU), but it still doesn't post. I tried two gpu's (Geforce 6800 GT and a low profile Radeon I had laying around) but I don't receive an image from them. Anyone a clue what might be the problem? I didn't plug in the Molex connector near the first PCI Express slot for the video card, as that one is used for SLI - which I don't intend to do. Furthermore I also use a 24-pin ATX connector, so I reckon that should be enough power for the mobo.
What was the Power Supply? The first ones (that turned off), and this one, that didn't turn off?
You don't have termovision camera? I mean to turn on the board, and carefully diagnose, if anything on board going above temperature 80 oC too fast.
I saw on youtube repairing videos, where the chips, or even small components, getting incredible hot (80,90,100 oC in 10-20 seconds, and still raising) after board is turning on, and that's how they've found problematic part. It was replaced, sometimes it was only problem (board worked), sometimes, it continue malfuncioning, but it was for sure another problem, and one was solved, that would causing failure anyway, so at least progress.
