I found a MOBO with i3 540 that had a few bent pins and one that fell off (it's VSS and it's a ground pin so it could work with out it)
It also has one semiconductor "burned" and it wasn't booting
I have bent the pins back and it booted but only for a few seconds until it shut off and does that in a cycle
I will replace the semiconductor and see if it makes a change but I wanted to know could it boot without the semiconductor or it is causing the problem
Here's a video that shows the semiconductor and my attempt to boot the PC normally
