Good for you.

I am quite aware of this.
...the motherboard uses 12v, 5v, and 3.3v. Which is exactly why I wonder where you get your information
Wait what?You were quite aware of what, exactly?

All I was saying was that all 3 voltages go into the motherboard. AFAIK, the 12v is only used for the fan connectors on the motherboard, but that still counts.
That just went straight over my head...how do the two statements have anything to do with each other?Whatever Kinda like the football player that goes down on the one yard line and reaches the ball into the end zone...
Nope. I'm almost 100% certain that it's the PSU that's the problem.
A mechanic that "knew that" after the car has already been diagnosed isn't much of a mechanic, now, is he?
Well it's not a BIOS chip like you tried telling us. That I can tell you for sure. If it was it would be giving you a beep code:
1-1-4 (Phoenix)
9 short (Ami)
etc.
Truth is, you have no clue.
I did think it was a bad rail on the PSU, yes, but I'm not sitting over top of it trying to diagnose it either. It was perfectly logical to assume a PSU.
