Hi, everyone. Yesterday I tried putting my usb 3 header into the motherboard and realized that it's a faulty cable with 2 pin holes clogged. Because of this the IntA_P1_SSRX- and Vbus touched each other for a while. I turned on my PC without realizing that and it turned on for 3 seconds then it shut down. Now I can't power up the PC by any means. The power led on the motherboard is blinking once every 3 seconds.
PC Specs
Motherboard: ASUS H87 Plus
CPU: Xeon E3-1245 v3
GPU: RX 470
RAM: 28GB
Storage: 6 x SATA drives.
Is it possible that I accidently killed the entire motherboard and even the other components?
Things that I've tried so far:
1. Use another PSU.
2. Plug everything out from the motherboard.
3. Same as 2 but keeping the CPU.
4. Breaking off the pin that potentially caused the short on the usb 3 header.
