At this point in your troubleshooting, I have to agree with poorguy. Don't know if you're savvy on schematics and test-meters.
A common cause of motherboard issues or failure is bulged or blown capacitors. Check the top of each capacitor to see if it is bulging, even slightly, or if the capacitor is leaking, which is an indication the capacitor is blown. If you find any bulging or blown capacitors, that is very likely the cause of any motherboard issues in your computer. A decent large magnifying glass works wonders here! I have a stand version with illumination I use for inspection, removal & replacing components.
