The motherboard was the issue I had been facing before. Here’s a summary of what happened earlier.
My system stopped working for a week. When I tried to turn it on, pressing the power button didn’t get me started. The first clue pointed to the PSU. I tested it with a paperclip method and it functioned properly. I took it to a friend, who had a different PSU installed. His machine booted up with mine, so the problem wasn’t with the PSU.
I brought it to a repair shop, where everything worked correctly. After two or three days, the issue returned. Each time I visited the shop, the PC was exposed to sunlight. Eventually, I found out the motherboard was likely the culprit.
Later, I tried using a convection heater in my case. After ten minutes, it booted with the new PSU and the same board. But once more, the fix didn’t work. Eventually, after an hour, it started on its own. This confirmed that the motherboard had been damaged by the PSU.
I’m planning to replace the PSU and will only attempt the repair once I have a new one. Many people have shared similar experiences online, so I recommend everyone avoid relying solely on the paperclip trick and opt for a fresh PSU before proceeding with any repairs.
A multimeter can be employed to conduct additional checks on the PSU.

This isn't a complete evaluation since the PSU isn't operating under load. Any voltages that deviate from specifications suggest a defective or malfunctioning PSU.
