Hello, I would like to ask your opinion guys for more clarification before I'll buy a new Motherboard. I just don't wanna waste my money to buy a wrong component.

Here is the scenario:

After I played my favorite game CSGO, I shifted to my Google chrome window to browse my facebook (The CSGO is still on the background). Then suddenly, my PC turned off. Then whenever I tried to turn it on again, it will turn on for 2-3 seconds then it will automatically turn off again.

My first suspect is the PSU, so I replaced the PSU with my spare PSU. But same thing happened. I also tried to reset the BIOS of my motherboard but same thing still happened.

I tried to remove the fans, RAM, GPU and also the CPU but same thing happened. I literally tried to remove all the attached things on my motherboard to know what is the problem.

So the last suspect is just the motherboard. Since my motherboard is no longer under warranty, my uncle tried to wash it (he knows how to properly wash the motherboard because he's computer technician for so many years). But same thing still happened.

Is there still any broken parts with that scenario? I just would like to clarify with more experts because I have only enough money to buy motherboard and I don't wanna waste it. I tried to search on some forums with similar symptoms, some of them said it's a shorted motherboard but some of them also said it can be CPU.

Hoping for your answers and thanks in advance.

I already removed the RAM and try to turn it on, but same thing happened. I will try to replace it when I got home.

Any other opinions from others?

PS: Sorry sir Greg, i accidentally clicked the -1.

Yes it's not gonna boot, but I am wondering why the power will turn off after 2-3 secs even without the ram? :(

Okay I will still try to replace spare RAM.

It's just weird because on my other Motherboard, i tried to turn it on without RAM and it's not turning off automatically for 2-3 secs. It will just display nothing.
