Is the mobo in the case? Have a CPU and tick of DRAM in it? If so might be the mobo is shorting, likely a missing standoff or the like, might want to bench it:

If just loose in the case, about any of the mobo traces could be shorting, need standoffs and the mobo attached to the standoffs to keep the traces from touching metal which can short and even fry the mobo

You said you tried it with the mobo loose in the case, I explained that can cause a short, or even fry the mobo - would bench it and troubleshoot per the link I provided earlier

power supply wattage ratings is the rating for the output of the untis. power supplys need to be match to the wattage that the pc is going to be using. ie cpu wattage and the gpu wattage. if the cpu is a 100w and the gpu is 170w.
you need min 270w on a power supply. that why people use power suply calultators to make sure the min watatge is met for there pc.
