I have a spair 400w Power supply that works. Would this be sufficient for a test?

It's worth a try, but I wouldn't leave it in there for very long even if it works. Mike

Do you know what revision of the board you have? There are 4 revisions of the GA-P35-DS4 and they all support the E6750, 1.0 with F6 bios, 1.1 with F6 bios, 2.0 with F6 bios and 2.1 with F10 bios

Do not attempt bios flashing until your rig is stable running.

If understanding the manual right the CPU's X 8 pin plug is needed for extreme type intel processors/ does the 8x pin off the PSU slip appart 1x4 pin + 1x4 pin as does the 20+4 pin MB connector? if it does try connecting 1 - 1x4 in the cpu power socket on the end silk screened on the board 1pin 2pin.

rma the m/b
if it was underpowered the fans would keep turning you just would not get anything past the post screens
shutting down indicates a short and as you have tried it out of the case it would point to a problem with the m/b

one other thought using 1 GPU was the extra 12v GPU supply next to the ram inserted? using 1 GPU card this sould not be connected.
