Is my PSU shorted?

I'm currently breadboarding my motherboard, cpu, AIO water cooler, speakers, and a monitor.

Specific Specs:
Asrock Z87-ITX Mobo
i7-4770k
Corsair H100i
Rosewill CAPSTONE 750W

The problem started with the system turning on and off in seemingly random intervals. So I took apart my rig set up the breadboard. After some research, I've checked for any stand offs, verified the voltages for each of the colored wires of the psu and the cmos battery, and listened for beeps. Unfortunately there are no light indicators to show the mobo is working.

Not exactly if the beeps are working or not, considering I haven't heard any at all, nothing shows on the monitor, and yet the system still flickers on and off. I'm currently looking at the used PSU market, but before that, what further tests can I do to determine if the fault lies in my PSU, Mobo, or both?
