Unless, of course, the problem with the MOBO trashes the new PS.
Then, he's out a new power supply.

Have you reseated the CPU and CPU fan? I don't test PSU's, I just replace them to see if they fix the issue. Lately, I seem to be swapping out more PSU's than anything else. It's high on the suspect list when things aren't working right.

--- Quote ---Replaced the battery
Cleared the CMOS
Reseated RAM, [/b]CPU[/b], Videocard
Removed everything but those last three items
Cleaned the contacts on the videocard
Dusted the whole interior with compressed air
Visually inspected the capacitors (none appear blown)
Visually inspected the connectors on the processor and videocard and ram (no bent pins or burn marks)
Tested the leads from the power supply with multimeter - All showed proper voltages (4 pin peripheral connectors, 24 pin motherboard, 8 pin CPU)
