My wifes computer will not power up with power switch or reset button on case, Cycled PSU switch on and off, plugged PSU MB 24 pin plug plug into a PSU power Tester, all voltage check green except the -5v light. Plug PSU into MB with nothing connected to MB, try screw driver to jump the start switch, in case the case switch is bad, MB doses nothing.
MB = MSI M2-A75MA-E35, PSU = Antec HE650
So just want confirmation , looks like dead MB right?

This is the second MB in this case in like a few years, last MB died also, we have a lot of lightning in central fla., but never had many dead MB problems like this.
 
If the -5 volt rail is dead then it's time to chunk that one and get a new one. I have the Corsair AX850 and it's the cat's meow. All modular so if you don't need a connection you just don't plug it in the PSU. Modular is a little pricey but is a solid investment. As you add goodies to your computer you just plug in the connector you need for it.
