Hello there,
Have you tried another item on the same power point ???
If that works fine I suggest that you remove both motherboards from the PC cases, place them on some "anti-static, non-metal" material and also remove the power supplies from the cases, then try and run them on a bench.
If this fails I would turn to the multi-meter to see where your short is.
Best of luck.
