Wim, thank you very much for your help, I really appreciate that. Today I had no free time to keep on the investigation but will come back asap.

Hello everybody,

today I measured all the voltages at the test points next to the LEDs. In the moment the unit powers off, there is a huge peak on the rails of 3.3V and 6V (my multimeter [Keysight U1272A] peaked 28V). Have not yet measured with the scope. Took the whole PSU apart, but there are no visible faults at all.

I would try to remove all plugin modules and see it the motherboard boots. If the rails are ok before it turns off, my guess would be this is only a turn off glitch with no actual power in it. When it boots with no plugin, reinstall one card at a time and check if it still boots with the added card.

Be sure to take pictures before removing cards, so you exactly know were everything goes when reassembling.
Ice-Tea:
Check all flatcables on the motherboard. A half unplugged cable has ruined my day once or twice in these machines.

What I've also seen to result in startup issues: the front (computer) module has a fairly weak fan that goes bad and seizes after time. The elcos on the board dry out, behaviour becomes eratic. Often visible cap damage. Worth checking out.
