Swapping power supplies to debug a motherboard
isn't going to help
if the fault is good at destroying power supplies. Killing a
power supply isn't going to help the next motherboard if the
newly blown power supply destroys that motherboard, too.
It should be noted that real computers, both old and new, have enough
protection between the power supplies and circuitry that this almost
never happens.
