Try this, you are trying to see if the motherboard is shorting with the case. The motherboard must be out of the case to do this.

Also, could you list the full system specs?

When you installed the new power supply did you make sure to also connect the smaller 4 pin power cable?

I found the video card not compatable with the new motherboard bought an APG 8X it worked.
when rebuilding a computer don't try to cut back on the parts needed. i did a it cost me time.

What video card were you trying to use? Seems a bit odd, unless you were using a 3.3V AGP card or somehow got a PCI-E card into an AGP slot and didn't fry aything.
