Mobo not starting up

[gertvanjoe]

So recently had a case of helping and old tannie with her pc.

Narrowed down the problem to either mobo or cpu. The moment you trigger the start pins on the mobo the psu shuts down. Atx connector is warm to the touch(leads me to believe vrm issue?). No chance to start beeping due to no ram

What you guys think. Cpu or mobo? If mobo, you think cpu would still be OK?
