There are no jumpers set or no incorrect jumpers set, I have tried booting the computer just now, several times, with only 1 stick of RAM, the CPU installed and CPU fan installed, and the PSU plugged in. It still immediately powers down. I removed the motherboard from the case and placed it on the anti-static bag it came with, hooked it up basic again like I described before, tried again and still the same result, which rules out a grounding problem. Is there any way to test it's my PSU? Before when I was having trouble, I checked all the voltages via multimeter on my PSU and they were fine.. That was only a few days, maybe a week ago. I find it odd it would just stop working like this now after I put new parts in.
