After assembling my PC and connecting it, I had problems with the computer booting, and then shutting off about 10-15 seconds later. The fans were running, so I assumed it was a component problem. After removing all of the components other than the PSU and CPU/HSF, I tried it again, and the PC would not boot at all.
I've followed the steps in the sticky with no results, and am currently breadboarding the PSU (a 700-watt OCZ) and the CPU/Mobo (i5-570)/(DP55WB) together with no results. The LED in the mobo turns on, but shorting the power switch has no effect. I was able to test the PSU on another motherboard, so I know that works.
I don't see any external damage, so I can't tell what's wrong. I don't really have the budget to replace either the motherboard or the CPU, so is there anything I can do here?
