What you should get between those pins of a good PC mobo when you

Normally, something other than a dead short.

are those directly connected to 'green and black wire' on atx power
connector on motherboard


No, there normally is a transistor to switch that - and that is after a
circuit powered by the standby 5V supply (for a typical ATX rig) that's
involved in other power monitoring stuff. What you can measure as
resistance across the contacts could be anything, and not really conclusive.

What's the problem?

Maybe a read of the following may help
