Jerol,
I'd believe that reseating the cord to the PSU, to get your system up and
running, your PSU is at fault.
You maybe be getting the voltage to start up; but is the PSU supplying the
required wattages, to run your PC?
The testing of the PSU will cost the same as a replacement.
This is the most overlooked component in diagnostic tracking, even with a good
UPS or a really great surge protector, the PSU is the last line of defense
before your MB.
The perfect US electric feed is 110V@60Hz, but that never happens. With spikes,
both up and down voltage and your home appliances creating surges, the lowly PSU
has a lot of work to make your PC run happlily.
Make this your next diagnostic, before thinking MB.
