    On another note, you could probably just post "-doobs" by itself with no other letters each time you want to make a post. It would just be more efficient, since you hardly manage to say anything anyways.

    I never say "anyways" anyway, mong.

    Nobody should, lad.

    By the way my new name is jacky. It was the crowning achievement of a renowned bright and witty character that is the parking attendant.

    Wasn't that at all really. Got the voltector out and found no issues. Even tested it while it was booting to see if anything arose. Again, nothing. Multiple people suggested that my problem was a "textbook" PSU issue but I found none.

    With the motherboard still being the main suspect, I started to like the idea of having USB 3.0 in the future, and I couldn't find a board that satisfied my other needs while still having that. One purchase sometimes leads to another and I finally said screw it, I've thought about building an entirely new machine for well over a year now and this seems like it's as good a time as any.

    $600+/- also isn't a "fortune". I'm not building an entirely new $2K rig.

    With the previous issues you were having, a dodgy PSU was a likely suspect, also the easiest to eliminate, but it seems your motherboard has alzheimers so you should be able to price a new board/RAM/CPU for $600 easy, and get a big leap in performance in the process while using less power.

    I don't believe you, but only because you have reiterated numerous times you have no idea what you're doing. A voltage detector only tells you have current, it doesn't measure the actual voltage, which is why I recommended a multimeter. I suspected you'll find you're getting 4.7 V or less on a 5 V line, which is why you can't boot with multiple hardware devices. Either way, "fortune" to spend was your choice of wording.
