Never plug or unplug anything with power on. I learned this the hard way.Quote
Also, do you think that powering on the atx, and then connecting it the board could solve this problem?

Turning on and off the power supply by use of wall or switch shouldn't matter. I would say at this point to try plugging in components one at a time, turning off the power before plugging the next component in. Take your time. It could be another driver, I had a bad driver that was shorting out the whole system and replacing it solved my issues. Sorry that you are having such a hard time though.

I would make sure you've got the polarity for the 5A input the right way around, and make sure you've got the stepper drivers plugged in correctly and not off-by-one hole.
