New board is grounded to the case
somewhere the board is touching metal. To test put MB on some books close enough so the power leads can be inserted. Press the on switch and see if the fan starts moving. If it does you greounded the board inadvertantly.

New Another sign of grounded . .
. . The CPU fan will "twitch" when the switch button is pushed. This will usually happen just once, then needs a rest or to be unplugged from AC for a moment.

One of the most common problems I've seen with inexperienced users doing their own "upgrades" is with unkeyed IDE cables (many are) and one end is plugged in backwards - the power supply sees a short to ground. In this case I'm sure he's tried with everything unplugged.
