If I can throw in a situation I had with a Motherboard...
Just 6 Months old the pc would fire up (fans etc) then switch off.

I checked all the usual and disconnected all peripherals, but left the
MoBo in the case.

Just before sending it back (having removed it) I stuck in a PSU and
touched the start pins together on the front panel connector with the
MoBo on a piece of cardboard on the bench.

 and It fired up and stayed up....?

The front panel push sw was stuck in 

Might be worth a try ...
