   down. I guess fuse was    
   burnt, I must open PSU and find where fuses locate and renew burnt fuse. Must

   The click you heard might have been a relay. Did the PSU make a similar   
   sound when you powered it on?   
      
   This may be the same problem you were having before when the machine   
   shut down randomly. Disconnect the PSU, give it a minute and try   
   restarting it using the same method as before. If it powers on, just   
   leave it running, not touching anything and see if it shuts down on its   
   own again.   
      
   Even a dead short on one of the voltage rails (touching DMM probes or   
   whatever) should not cause the the internal fuse to blow. An   
   over-current protection (OCP) should kick in and shut down the unit.
