Possible PSU or Mobo problem similar to many others

Status
Not open for further replies.
Computer has been working fine for 3 months

I bought a PSU sleeving kit
I DID NOT remember to take the AC power cord out of the wall (Stupid I know please don't write back about that)
I DID NOT Take ATX24 pin out of Mobo before unconnecting cables
I'm almost sure I Grounded myself multiple times, but maybe I touched something when I was opening it up and unhooking my fans

PROBLEM

My computer now has the power standby LED ON, and when I press the power switch, I get a short BURST of power to my fans (yes many posts on this I know)

What I have done so far

I HAVE checked ALL connections in the computer 5 times, and all connections are plugged in correct and clean.
I HAVE switched voltage back and forth, which helped once a month ago after installing a new sound card, but not now
I HAVE tried to short the pins by using a Screwdriver
I HAVE tried resetting the CMOS jumper
I HAVE tried unplugging my HDD
I have NOT tried another PSU, but I will.

Please help with suggestions
I'm pretty sure I just need another PSU or Mobo ( I need a better mobo anyway, and My PSU is kinda low for my new 7900GS I think so I wouldn't mind that, but the money if the old part is BROKEN would piss me off)
What should I do other than what I wrote above?

That's dangerous. If you had it set to 115V and you were in fact feeding it 230V you could really have screwed your PSU and possibly other parts of your computer.

Would you please put your specs in your public profile. Thanks.
