Are there more than two wires coming into that plug?
Pull the plug off and tell us what pins are underneath.

Thanks for the update.
Sorry for the back and forth, I have not seen a board with that type of plug before.
Leave the plug from the case switches disconnected.
Turn off the PSU, reattach all the power leads to the MB you removed for testing.
1. With a small screwdriver, briefly touch both pins, #6 and #8, at the same time. the computer should start, wait till the desktop is fully loaded.
2. With the screwdriver, touch pins #6 and #8 again again, If the computer shuts down, post back.
If the computer restarts, wait for the desktop again, use the Start Menu to shut down, then post back.

Not looking good.
To verify everything, please check again.
The wire you used to test the PSU has been removed.
The two main power cables from the PSU to the MB are securely seated.
The CPU fan is plugged into the MB.
The PSU is using the power cable you know is good.
The PSU is switch on at the wall outlet.
Please try again shorting out the #6 and #8 pins.
Reconnect the front panel plug and try starting using the case button.
If still a fail, looks very much like there is a fault on the MB.
I will ask Phillpower2 if he has any other suggestions.
Not much that I can suggest as the exact same steps that I would have followed have been done with the exception of the following;
With the power cord disconnected from the wall socket, remove the MBs CMOS battery, disconnect the screen, disconnect the PSU power connections from all drives, remove the Ram + any add on cards such as GPU etc, disconnect the case connection to MB header, replace the CMOS battery, connect the main power cord, short out pins 6 and 8 on the MB to test.
If still no joy, it could still be a bad PSU not putting out enough power so if at all possible try borrowing an alternative for testing purposes or have the present one tested by a tech store.
You are very welcome simon_grylls
Thanks Phillpower2 for the review and suggestions,
okay friends
I'm going to take my ***CPU*** to a service center
Thanks for your help and thanks for spending your precious time
By the way can you tell me
how to close this forum
Did you mean PSU? I don't think there would be a need to get the CPU tested.
We don't close topics as you may need to come back with other questions, or to tell us the problem is solved.
Seeing Phillpowers2's suggestion, "remove the MBs CMOS battery," I would replace it with a new one (about $4). This will reset the MB to the Default or Safe Setting. It is possible that the the Power Scheme is corrupted/altered, The pins #6/8 Defalt is, Power on/Power off, it may be set to "Do Nothing.
then,
1. test using the case button.
2. Test, shorting out pins #6 and #8.
3. Test shorting out pins #5 and #7, Default Restart.

Glad to hear that you have managed to resolve the issue did the tech/s happen to tell you what the fault was.
