Computer Shutdown

Hi there, Pls note I have been using the Asus A7N266-VM motherboard with an AMD Athlon 2000mhx processor, for quite some time now, but lately it started to shut down automatically and took some time to restart again.
Right now the board is not supporting the porcessor and shuts down within 3/4 seconds of being powered. However if i remoe the processor, the board keeps running fine(obviously withOUT any display on the monitor).
I have already checked the processor on another/ same model board, which is working fine on it. And checked another processor on my board but the board still shuts down.
So that technically leaves me to figure out why is my board not supporting any processors .
Please advise.
