  • It shouldn't have fried the PSU, if you suspect PSU damage check the 12v 5v and 3.3v rails with a digital multimeter when you have it powered. I agree that it is strange. Commented Feb 25, 2018 at 21:42

    When you run a computer without a case it's called "Benchtesting" not "breadboarding". This is a breadboard: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadboard

  • Is there anything underneath the MB that could short out the board? A screw or any other conductor that could be contacting the MB?

    Yeah but a breadboard is a real thing in electronics and we already use the word "benchtest". Let's use unambiguous terms that are generally accepted.
