    Hi all, and thanks for the input.

    I have now removed the mobo again.
    Its the same outside of the case.
    I do have a gpu card in, as it has no on-board graphics.
    Board still shuts down the same with the card out.

    I am using the case power switch still, as it goes to a 10 pin connector, and I don't know what pins to short.

    Going to look closer now at that switch with the meter.

    Ureka !!

    Sat with the meter and worked out the 10 pin connector.
    Board on the bench with a PSU and GPU connected. Short the pins on the board, and it powers and posts ok.

    Can't believe all this over a dam power switch !

    Thank you all so much for the constructive thoughts. Just need to source a switch now.

    Have a happy new year to all
