My ASUS Mobo is showing green light once the mains are ON. But when i hit the On button on the Cabinet, the MOBO does not boot.

my config: MOBO-Asus M5A97R2.0 EVO, CPU-AMD 6300 3.5Ghz, RAM-GSkill 2x4Gb, PSU-Antech 550P V2

Initially i suspected my PSU, so i check it with Multimeter, for all the points it showed voltages 5V & 12V.
Also i checked my PSU with my friends computer which worked prefectly fine.

On the MoBO the green light glows, also the green light on the GPU glows.
I then removed all the accesories and only connected PSU to the MOBO. And then tried to short the Power SW pins OR the RESET Pins on the MOBO but nothing happens. Even there is no BEEP Sound.

is it MOBO issue or is it the PSU under loading condition issue? pls help.

^^ Do the fans rotate after you switch it on? Is it possible for you to check with a different compatible Motherboard?

Have you removed RAM and tested the mobo alone ? If not try it..

I suspect it has to do something 24 pin connector on the motherboard. May be some components related to that region knocked off.
