is my mobo dead?? :(

by palisimo Aug 21, 2010 8:20AM PDT

I have a DP35DP that was fine until this morning, I moved it to a new case, and now I cant get it to boot.
When all the cables (except the SATA) are plugged in, as soon as I plug the power cable, the PC powers on, stay that way fow a few seconds, the it shuts down, after some seconds it powers back on and it keeps repeting this cycle. i dont get anything onthe screen, and no beeps either.

Whe I remove the 2x2 12v power cable from the mobo, it doesnt start after the power cable is plugged, it only starts when I press the ON button, it doest shuts down or reboot, the CPU fan works, no beeps, but nothing comes in the display.

I already tried recover the BIOS, remove the little battery, and try to boot with only tested video carb and RAM, I also tried another power surce that works fine onother PC. Even with no SATA devices, I should be able to enter the BIOS right?

I my MOBO dead?? Is there anything else I can try to fix this??

PLEASE HELP!

Well, you moved it to a new case so I would guess first its maybe grounding somewhere/how on the new casing? Have you tried booting it on a static neutral surface or back in its old case?
