It's in a case now, although I did the stress test on a bench. It could have also been the PSU being used before I got it that killed it, an Antec SP-350 full of busted fuhjyyu caps (Don't worry, it's already been stripped of wires and fans).

I have re-soldered all the joints where I replaced caps and surprise surprise, IT WORKS! in fact, I'm posting from it now.

Great! What a relief!

Sometimes my boards won't POST immediately after a recap and reflowing the solder has always fixed it. This is the first instance I've heard of where a board stopped POSTing and a reflow fixed it.

I have just found a more minor fault. When I shut it down, it powers off for about half a second, before turning back on. It's not a software problem as it also happens when I turn it off in the BIOS by pressing the power button.
