I had a similar issue last summer. It turned out to be the AGP slot had been fried and the mobo somehow caused the power supply to disfunction. This was all caused by running a: GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB DDR AGP with a misconfigured slot. Ran fine for about a month and then.... The new motherboard Asus A7V8X will not powerup with the same configuration. It has a red led to indicate power mismatches on the AGP slot.
