I have a 4 years old Asus B75M-A motherboard that failed to power on. Pressing the front panel power switch or shorting the on-board power on pins, the cpu fan turns briefly then stops. Below are what I've tested so far:
- Test the psu alone with green short to ground, all voltages ok
- Measure the 5VSB on board, ok
- Use the psu on a known-to-work motherboard (another Asus) showed that the psu works
- Use this problematic motherboard with a known-to-work psu, same problem
- Check the capacitors (all are aluminum cased) on the board, all looks fine
There were other intermittent problems before it reaches this total failure:
- usb HDD couldn't be started, even usb thumb drive couldn't be detected
- reboot itself without a reason
I wonder if cpu or the board is the cause and how it can be repaired. Please help.

Have you removed all drives and aux plug in boards and
just tried to boot with the motherboard on it's own?
