So, I called the company that made the PS and they said it could be the PS and so they will send me a new one.
Once I get that, I will hook it up and if it still doesn't work, I guess it is the motherboard!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
Steve

Steve, Did you check those voltages ??
Something else that you could check, but make sure that you are hanging onto the case with one hand, is to have a feel with your finger, right at the base of the CPU heatsink and see if its getting warm !! I will bet that its not !!!!
You can temporarily disconnect the CPU fan to check this. Under normal conditions it will get very warm quite quickly, say 60 seconds or less.
I have a thermistor contact probe attached to a 10" long wooden stick that I use to measure CPU temperature's. Anything between 45 and 65 C would be a normal reading on a functional machine.

They could.

They could as well.

The PS might not be sending the correct voltage to the mombo but could be sending the correct voltage to everything else.
