How does one access the bios when it doesn't power up?
Yeah, that's a bit of a pickle eh...Start pulling devices (HDD/SSD's, any slotted VID/Sound cards, swap out uPC and RAM) one by one? If your down to just a MB and the power supply is still shutting off and you've tried another PS, RAM and uPC, guess MB is toast.
Probably then a dang $0.01 shorted out cap somewhere's on the MB causing the PS to fold back (protected shutdown) due to over current.
